Equitana Auckland - Day 4

Equitana Auckland 2019 came to final day, there were still many programmes to see.
Upon arrival to the ASB showground, we went to watch Pony Club Competition.
Some pony clubs from parts of New Zealand competed as a team.
It was pretty exciting to watch!

Equitana Auckland最終日です。
この日はポニークラブの競技があり、各ポニークラブでのチーム対抗の障害飛越などを拝見しました。







Aside from that, there was challenge called Connexion Challenge.
Rider and horse challenge to complete obstacles. It requires good communication and training on both horse and rider.

In this challenge, there was a Kaimanawa Horse, which is wild horse in New Zealand (Originally brought in by migrants long ago but left to became wild).
The horse was said that under saddle for 4 months but the horse and rider did impressive on all the obstacles! 

また、屋内アリーナではコネクションチャレンジという、人馬がどれだけ意思疎通できるか的な馬に乗って様々な障害物をこなしていく競技もありました。

ここではカイマナワというニュージーランドの野生化した馬を拝見することができました。カイマナワの交配種はわりと身近ですが、カイマナワ自体は初めて見ました。





Beautiful Palomino!
美しいパロミノは前回勝者だとのことです。
