The bond we share with our animals is a special one – but especially the one we have with horses. For many, they are a vital part of the rural community. But as well as being a means to help many people make a living, they show-case the wide ranging diversity of talents of everyday New Zealanders.

Saddle up with this latest collection from Country Calendar, in which we explore all things equestrian.

From those who practise the art of horse whispering to an ageing cowboy who wants to realise his dream of riding with the famous Aupouri wild horses one last time, these are tales which will both touch and delight you.

From show-jumping, modern day cowboys at riding competitions, to picking out the best stock and competing in a 10 hour endurance event; these stories of equestrian heaven include some of the most popular Country Calendar tales ever broadcast in the show’s 47 year history.

This Country Calendar collection is a celebration of the unique relationship we share with our horses – and we hope you enjoy their inspiring stories.
