You are kindly invited to join us for our 1st Open Day show-casing Icelandic horses on Sunday, February 28, from 11.00 am to 4.00 pm. The Open Day will take place at Neđri Bakki Icelandic Horses Stud, 20B Ostrich Farm Road, Pukekohe. It is organized and hosted by the two leading studs on the North Island: Neđri Bakki and Skógarrönd. Come along and find out why the Icelandic horse has become one of the most popular horses for adult riding in much of Europe! They are extremely good natured, versatile and enthusiastic.
"They have charm, strength and courage, are intelligent and love being trained. The Icelandic horse has five gaits. Among the usual gaits - walk, trot and canter - the Icelandic horse also has the magical tölt, a remarkably smooth four-beat running walk.
No other breed can manage this gait as naturally and beautifully as the Icelandic horse. Pace is the fifth gait but not found in all Icelandic horses. Most Icelandic horses today are between 13hh and 14hh. They are extremely strong and are expected to carry any adult, no matter how tall and heavy. The Icelandic horse can be found in over 40 different colours, with hundreds of colour combinations."
At the Open Day we will:
. Demonstrate the horses in two mini-shows at 12 pm and 2 pm.
. Show the mares and their new foals, born over the last two months.
. Exhibit saddles and other equipment for Icelandic horses, books and training material, information on the NZ Icelandic Horse Breeders and Riders Association.
. Be happy to talk about the horses and answer any questions you might have.
. Arrange a cake stall with coffee, tea, soft drinks, and sausages to purchase on site.
There will be plenty of parking spaces at the property. Follow the signs and you will be directed to the front paddock to park.
Bring along your family and friends for few relaxing hours.
We are looking forwards to seeing you!

Message from Sigrun:
To all of those coming to the Awakeri reunion:
I'm trying to start a scrapbook with photos from our reunions, but I really
need your input.
A photo or two from each of the 23 reunions would be great. Anyone willing to contribute photos they can put a date to would be a good start. Can you please bring these to Awakeri, or otherwise email them to me if you are not coming.
