Horse Events & Horse Shows in New Zealand

Find and enter horse events across New Zealand

Horsify lists events run by riding clubs, riding schools, show societies and event organisers around the country — from one-day club days and clinics through to multi-day championships. Every listing carries what you need before you commit a float trip: the dates, the venue and its address, the classes and divisions on offer, entry fees, when nominations close, and how to reach the organiser.

What's on this weekend, and what's on near you

Those are the two questions riders actually ask, and each has a page of its own. Horse events this weekend lists everything running Friday to Sunday across the country, rebuilt from these same listings each week. For what is on near you, open the event map — every listing carries the venue's full address, so you can judge the drive before you commit to it.

Disciplines covered

Listings span rodeo and campdrafting, dressage and para dressage, show jumping, eventing, showing and hacking, led and lead-rein classes, western disciplines including reining, cutting and barrel racing, stock horse and roping events, pony club, polocrosse, endurance and trail rides, driving, working equitation, agricultural and breed shows, and clinics with visiting instructors. Use the discipline filter above to narrow to one, or leave it on All Disciplines to see everything that's scheduled.

Horse shows

Horse shows are listed here alongside the competitions: agricultural shows with a horse section, breed shows, and showing and hacking days. For showing on its own — led and ridden classes, show hunter, showmanship and lead rein — open the horse shows, showing and hacking page. Each show's listing carries its own class list and entry fees, and where the organiser takes entries through Horsify you can enter online.

Entering an event

Where a club takes entries through Horsify, you can nominate your horses, choose classes, sign any waivers the organiser requires and pay in a single pass — and your entries and results stay in your account afterwards. Where a club runs its own entry process, the listing points you straight at it. Browsing events and creating a rider account are free; what you pay to enter is set by the event organiser. Some clubs include Horsify's rate in their entry fees; others show it as a platform fee at checkout. A club's platform fee applies to online payments only — pay the club directly by cash or bank transfer and nothing is added.
