The 2011 Northland Natural Horsemanship Games was the first of it's kind in NZ if not the world. We are doing it all again this year!! - 8th April 2012 |
In 2011 around 1,000 spectators were wowed as they watched the 34 contestants play the games and saw Leanne Cameron, Parelli NH student do her showcase with Star to music. Many cried as they watched Parelli Professional instructors Russell Higgins and his 2 horses Oscar and Maverick playing at liberty and Tori Murray-Elley ride her spirited horse Summer at liberty.

Be a Judge - If you are playing PNH with your horse at level 2 or above: You can volunteer to be a judge for half a day or for the whole day. You will get brief training beforehand, a judge's booklet to work from and an assistant to help you on the day. You will also get our eternal gratitude and have a load of fun. |
Be a Helper You don't even need to be a horse person. Not all the jobs require skill or experience with horses. All our helpers had so much fun they are coming back next year. But we need more because there will be more people, more horses and the Games will be bigger. Email Pat or Claire to volunteer |

Emphasis is on having the best relationship you can with your horse so together you achieve what you do in partnership. It is also all about fun, challenge and safety. The 2011 Student Showcase Leanne Cameron, a Parelli Natural Horsemanship student gave us a wonderful demonstration with her horse Star in 2011. Leanne played with Star on the ground and on horseback to music. Leanne is throwing the ball back and forth to her sister
