New Zealand’s Premier Equestrian Event returns to Hastings with a new but familiar naming sponsor. Defender Horse of the Year is a “must-attend event” on the equestrian calendar. With more than 1,000 riders competing for titles and high-stakes prize money throughout the six-day extravaganza, you’ll enjoy dressage, showjumping, cross-country, mounted games and more. 

We’ll be at the event to provide nutritional advice to help you achieve greater performance and improved health with your horse. We’d also love to talk to you about the Agrecovery scheme, which provides farmers and growers with a sustainable solution for recycling plastic bags commonly used for products like seed, feed and fertiliser (25kg and under in size). 

There’ll be a huge array of shopping options too across the event, with great equine feed deals on NRM products.
