A picture-perfect Barge Park in Whangārei played host to one of the most well-attended Northland Showjumping Grand Prix shows on Saturday and Sunday.
About 350 horses along with scores of trucks filled the rolling green fields of Barge Park over the two days. The turnout was an impressive 100 more than last year but about 50 less than the event's record number.
Northern Advocate photographer John Stone went along to catch the action on Saturday.
