The New Zealand Show Jumping Season comes to an end this weekend with the final rounds of the National Series competition taking place in Taupō at the National Equestrian Centre from Thursday. 

The show jumping season began in late August and runs most weekends at events throughout the country.

Horse age-group classes

FMG Young Rider (up to 21 years)

AMS Saddlery Pony Grand Prix

Property Brokers Horse Grand Prix

Harrison Lane Premier League Series.

Double points will be on offer for the final round of each series and the top of the table in many of the series is extremely tight so the competition will be strong as the riders and their horses vie to be the 2025 series winner.

Competitors will travel from around the North Island as well and a number of South Islanders have made the trek north to Taupō to take part.
