The Tapuaeroa Horse Sports organised by @tuhimoanaaupouri and her whanau, held in conjunction with the Ngati Porou Pa Wars 2024, showcased an impressive array of riders and horses, spanning various events, skill levels and age groups.
The event was a testament to the diverse talent from all of our small East Coast communities, where both seasoned riders and newcomers demonstrated their skills.
Ngati Porou Pa Wars created an electrifying atmosphere, celebrating the rich cultural and sporting heritage of Ngati Porou.
The event resonated with the spirit of whanau and kotahitanga, skillful horsemanship, providing a thrilling spectacle for attendees to fill their eyes and hearts with,
