Shannon Armour

Vetpro Sponsored Rider

I’ve been riding for 25 years, competing in dressage, eventing, show jumping and showing. I’ve competed at North Island Pony Club Show Jumping champs x5, NZ PC dressage champs x2 where I was part of the winning senior team and winning overall teams, taking out highest placed first time rider to champs the first year. I was 1st reserve for the NZPC eventing team x2.

I took my best hack to Horse of the Year in Hastings 2019 and 2020, gaining Reserve Champion Standardbred of the Year. I produced him from scratch, so it was an absolute honour to get the placing we did.

11 years ago I moved to Invercargill to work in a harness racing stable, where my passion grew, and I’ve since produced a number of off the track thoroughbreds and standardbreds. In 2018 I took out my harness racing trainers licence. I have trained 15 winners, with 11 coming from my stable favourite Ivana Legacy. She’s travelled a lot to Christchurch, including racing NZ Cup day in Christchurch twice. She’s now at stud.

My current hack is The Fixer. He was very successful, with one of his main wins being NZ Cup. He’ll be my next show horse, competing in showing and dressage and maybe a little bit of jumping. Tosti has come a very long way in the time I have had him. We are having lessons with Bill Noble and I can’t wait for the new season to see how we go.So far we have been to 2 shows, with a total of 5 champions including supreme!

I have been using B Boost and Quick-Lyte for many years now on my race horses and wouldn’t use anything else.
All the horses including the children’s pony gets everyday minerals and Muscle Max has been a great starter for the horses.

Katherine Bell

Vetpro Ambassador - Distance Riding New Zealand

My name is Katherine Smith (KJ Farms Endurance) I’m an endurance rider and live in Tauranga on our 2ha property. I started endurance 3 seasons ago & I’ve enjoyed getting to know the sport from the grassroots level before planning to step up into the bigger kms.

Over the last 3 seasons I have had great success winning and placing in championship events in the lower kms. Next season I hope to step up and achieve my open status.

I currently have a team of 3 horses ready to compete next season: Sahar Park Airiaya aka Bella, a purebred Arabian rescue I started 6 years ago and at 18 this season won the 40km North island CTR championship class & 2nd in the 60km National CTR class, Aura Marlow who is a 12yr old Arab X SB who after a fencing injury cut our season short is ready to go next season as my main horse and Kristoff JA Aka Brian, the baby of the team at only 5yrs old and is set to continue his endurance career with a full 24/25 season planned.

I’ve been using Vetpro products for many years and love the results I’m getting especially with Muscle Max, Selenium K & B Boost paste to keep my horses at the top of their game.

Cracker and myself had a great season in the 2020 -2021 season, coming home with many wides and good results such as, Champion Inhand and Supreme Inhand at the South Island Pinto Show, and qualifying for HOY in the Inhand & Ridden Pintos and the Working hunter.

Cracker has just come back into work and we are working towards qualifying for the Pintos and Working Hunters for HOY and hopefully making it there this season with no complications due to COVID. Good luck to everyone else competing this season.

4* Eventing Rider

The 2022-23 season will be with my two main horses Arctic Cielo and WonderStrike. Both horses will aim to compete consistently at 3* level eventing and continue to show jump at Amateur and Pro-Amateur level.

Read More

 

Arctic Cielo is likely to step back up to 4* eventing and both horses will aim for the Young Rider Oceania Team to compete for New Zealand at the end of the season.

Alongside competing I coach private clients regularly and weekly at local pony clubs. I am also a full time Masters student studying at Massey University and will continue studying throughout this season.

We have been using Vetpro supplements for a number of years and the first aid kit is always Vetpro. The horses thrive on them and we are firm believers in Vetpro’s products that actually work.

I am originally from Germany and a full time equestrian, my main focus is dressage and showing. I have also competed in show hunter, show jumping and eventing.

My husband and I run HSP Hanoverians. My main team consists of 3 horses. My youngest HSP Raven (imp. Germany) just finished her first competitive season winning the Preliminary Gold North Island title.

My super mare HSP Soe (imp. Germany) had an equally successful season, also winning the North Island title for Medium gold. She has won the Elementary Super 5 League 2021 and the Zilco Musical Freestyle Series for Novice and Elementary in 2019 and 2021. Soe will move up to Advanced Medium next season. Soe also holds multiple Champion and Supreme titles, most significantly being the National Riding Horse title in January 2021.

My trusted Friesian Alexander M is currently competing at FEI level 7 and I am hoping that successful winter training will prepare him for a start at levels 8/9 next season. While he isn’t necessarily a record beater , he is definitely a crowd pleaser and attracts attention everywhere he goes.

We have only been in partnership since March 2023 and I brought him on to do dressage. This is my first ever season riding and riding competitively. 

At Nationals, we managed to secure 5th place which gave us enough points to take out the series which I am absolutely thrilled with. 

My plans for next season are to push ahead with Charlie and look at competing Level 2 or 3 in dressage, which I am very much looking forward to.

Amanda Warner

Vetpro Sponsored Rider

I’ve been with Vetpro a few years now, previously with my Stationbred “Mr Blue” whom I started doing Trek for Life NZ on & dabbled in Endurance. Mr Blue retired so now “Django”, my young Overo Paint/Warmblood from the Far North, has taken on our Vetpro Sponsorship & Trek for Life NZ. 

Read More

 

Every March we complete 180-200km over a week – 3 days riding, a rest day, then 3 more days in the saddle. There are also mountain bikers & walkers on the same route along with approximately 150 horses! There is a large camp & volunteers who move down the country with us, we started from Cape Reinga a few years ago & are aiming to complete the length of NZ.

There is a large amount of logistics involved and it’s all done for charity. Our fees, sponsorships, auctions etc all raise funds for the First Responders – Fire, Surf Rescue and St. Johns, in all the remote areas we ride through. 

Vetpro provides Django with his Everyday Minerals, Electrolytes, Muscle Max, Digest Rite Sport, First Aid, Shampoo and a lot of Sunblock Powder! to help with the large amount of training involved. To support him during Trek week, he has additional Quicklyte & B-Boost Pastes, which are invaluable when travelling such large distances.

Sarah Wilkinson

NZ Dressage Rider currently based in England

We have had a great start to the season here so far. Koko has had seven starts for 5 wins. We qualified for the winter championships and she won the Elementary Silver Championship with a score of 73.28% in very good company. We also qualified for the Nexgen Young Horse finals which is held in Hickstead end of September, so I’m very excited to head there for that.

We have our Summer Regionals this weekend at Elementary and Medium in the Gold section with some very big competition.

Hello was on fire earlier this year and we were meant to go to our first CDI here in the UK but we had a very unfortunate mishap with her shoeing. She was out of work for 5 or so weeks which led us to miss out the winter champs at Advanced Medium/PSG. However slowly bringing her back in to work and I’d say we will be out end of season. 

I have been making use of the great products that were in the Vetpro medical bag, especially at the time with Hello’s foot issues. The poultices and cooling gels are great. I also love the fungal cleansing shampoo, it makes their coats so soft and looking great! During the warmer weather I find the electrolyte and B Boost paste fantastic! My mum always used these back in NZ when we were competing. 

Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot and helps my team of fabulous horses! 

Beth Wilson

Event Rider

This season I have a young team of horses who will be competing. Mallory Square will be competing with the plan of stepping up to 2*, aiming for the Taupo 3 Day. 

Astek Guinness will be making his eventing debut, this is a very exciting horse for the future. 

I also have the ride on Pebbles for Michelle Wilson, who will be aiming for both Puhinui and Taupo 3 Day.

I am out competing my mare Annie 10yr Qh x Tb, who I broke in an trained myself. Annie is second season at barrels and she is starting to shape up really nicely, I’m looking forward to where the season takes us. I also compete in A n P shows in the stock and station classes, bringing home a few champions last season, and also compete in multiple barrel racing jackpot series.

In my spare time I’m training horses for other people, giving lessons or out trekking/mustering. I’m very passionate about Vetpro products for all animal uses, from farm stock, horses an dogs and love the results I see. My team of dogs and horses all benefit from Vetpro products on a daily bases.

I’m really looking forward to this season coming as I have a wonderful and talented bunch of horses coming out, such as LV So Predictable (grand daughter of my first eventer Too Predictable who won many national titles eventing), TMS Balou Bert who is very flashy bred by Balou De Route and Contendros 1, and many more young ones. 

Read More

I also have LV Gee Whizz which I’m hoping to consolidate at 3*** level, and LV Total Recall who I’m going to step up to 2** next season. 

For all this to happen, it’s the people working behind the scenes to make the horse perform at their best, such as Vetpro products, I particularly use Muscle max and Flex Equine plus (for joints). Vetpro offer a wide range of products for every situation or requirement.

BRING ON NEXT SEASON. 

Stable Stirrup

Stable to Stirrup Charitable Trust

Stable to Stirrup is a registered charitable trust founded by a group of passionate people in Canterbury who want to create a viable option for standardbred horses when they retire from their harness racing career.

Read More

 

Due to limited resources, many Standardbreds don’t get a chance to have a life after racing, however, we are committed to changing this. We facilitate the retraining and rehoming of these horses as they come off the track.

Our programme sees the horses transition from racing stable to being started under saddle, and then on to a new home when they are ready. Standardbreds are becoming well-known as great riding horses and companion animals.

Thank you so much for sponsoring the Pony Club camp in Gore.

I took my pony Kobie. We had lots and lots of fun and we listened and learned from some really nice horse-mad people just like me.I love my ponies and it was so fun to hang out with my friends at camp.

Read More



My goal this year is to jump 1.10m on my pony Kobie and to jump 90cm on my young pony Baxter. My favourite lesson at pony club camp was the horse bones with Becks Nairn because it was really interesting looking at the bone fractures as I have fractured myself 3 times but only once from a horse.

Even though the weather was wet Mum was excited to have a free lake view from the truck, but it wasnt my favourite thing to walk through to feed my pony.

Grand Prix Showjumper
I am a photographer living in Cambridge, NZ. Last season Varekai SL (aka Marlon) and I had some good results in the Pro am and 1.30m classes.

I recently purchased a rising 6 year old mare 'Stormy' that I have been getting to know over the winter and getting them both out to some winter training days.

My aim for the next season is to continue to keep my horses as happy and consistent throughout the season as I can, and forming a good partnership with Stormy.
