All Arkins Way at Woodhill

Aussie raider James Arkins is warming up for the Farmlands Horse of the Year Show in the best way possible . . . by winning.
Aboard his New Zealand-bred Rosthwaite Vigilante II, he again headed home another Kiwi field, this time in the Excel Premier League Grand Prix at the Aon Insurance Premier Show at WoodhillSands in Auckland.
He was the only one of the nine strong field to leave his slate clean in the two round competition.
Coming in behind him were teen Emily Hayward-Morgan (Te Awamutu) aboard AP Ninja and Tash Brookes (Cambridge) on her former racehorse Kapattack.
The women finished second equal and have both showed excellent in recent months.
Earlier in the show Hayward-Morgan and AP Ninja won the Canterbury Equestrian Young Rider class and aboard her other horse Yandoo Lady Gold, she was second in the Telford Junior Rider class.
In the Country TV Pony Grand Prix, Olivia Miller (Te Puke) and Kaycee McKay were the only double clears in the 15-strong field, three of whom came through to the jump-off.
Pip Howells was the course designer for the two day show, which attracted 450-plus horses.
