Showjumping final a big success despite Covid restrictions

The best showjumpers in the country gathered in Hāwera over the weekend – but no spectators were allowed to watch them because of Covid-19 restrictions.

The Taranaki Equestrian Jumping World Cup Final took at place at the Egmont A&P Showgrounds between Friday and Sunday.

Hundreds of horses and riders from all over the country attended, all following the very strict red traffic light rules, including masks and social distancing.

They included Tegan Fitzsimon, from West Melton, who won her third POLi Payments FEI World Cup (New Zealand League) Series on Saturday, riding Windermere Cappuccino.
