The Show Jumping World Cup Final hosted by Show Jumping Waitemata is to be held on 10-11 January 2015 at Woodhill Sands Equestrian Centre, Auckland, where we expect to see around 550 horses and their riders attend! This is no doubt going to be a stunner event, one that no show jumper will want to miss this season. Prize money has been increased across the board and we have 11 dress rugs up for grabs. A new partnership with Country TV means that the event will also be televised.
Imake Ltd is sponsoring the event for 2015 and is linking its love of animals to help fundraise for the charity Imake a Difference. This charitable trust’s focus is on saving the rhino from poaching for their horn, and there will be many opportunities to donate over the weekend and you’ll be sure to see some great new jumps some emblazoned with rhino! Ring decoration will be the area we are focusing on this season and this will extend to all rings.
The weekend will be a fantastic family outing. The event caters for all levels of jumping from beginners through to World Cup level. The event has six competition rings (four Show Jumping and two Show Hunter). Saturday afternoon's main event is the Continental Cars 1.35 - 1.40 metre classic with $1000 up for grabs for the winner. The evening Speed Championship will also be one not to miss, starting at 7:00 PM. Saturday evening’s entertainment will include a band.
Help us Make a Difference - Save the Rhino Charity
At Imake we have started the “Imake a Difference” charitable fund to help the plight of the magnificent, and increasingly rare, rhinoceros. Rhinos throughout the world are being poached by international crime syndicates for their horns. They recovered from near extinction in the 1980s, but are now being killed in unprecedented numbers and once again face extinction if this slaughter isn’t halted. The demand is coming from the burgeoning affluence in Asia, where the horn is prized for its supposed medicinal value and its exclusive gift status. We need to act decisively, and swiftly, to help save the rhino from extinction – and we need your help.
