Welcome to the New Zealand Hack and Pony Council Inc.
After going into recession for a few years, New Zealand Hack and Pony
Council was reformed in 2005 with the purpose of running a Premier
North Island Championship Show.
In 2006, the show was run over 1.5 days with ridden classes only.
After the huge success of the 2006 show it was expanded in 2007 to
include both led and ridden sections.
The show has been held on the first weekend of February at Claudelands
in Hamilton.
