At The Show the public will be very lucky and will see these majestic horses presenting their awesome power and precision

movements. A highlight will be the amazing versatility of these gentle giants which will be evident when dressed in full harness and parading the

Showgrounds. A key event to watch out for is the log pull competition starting from 10am on Friday in the Interislander Arena.

ext door to the historic Exhibition Hall you will find what many people know as the Fish and Game Shed. Over the winter months this shed has undergone a stunning transformation and has been renamed asThe Nature Shed. When you visit The Show, you make sure you check out the absolutely beautiful mural which has been painted on the building by renowned artist Cinzah Merkens.

Each year, this shed has a different theme and a team of dedicated people from the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, DOC and Fish and Game come together to educate and bring awareness to environmental issues facing our region.

This year the theme of the Nature Shed is the biodiversity value of farmland and

integrating many partners working in the space.The display concept will create a model farmland highlighting ways to enhance biodiversity and productivity and highlight species who thrive on farmland given the right conditions and will promote practical actions people can take to support biodiversity.

There will be plenty of activities particularly for kids including holding weta, seeing geckos, eels and koaro, triggering a trap, water quality testing and sifting through leaf litter.

We will have plenty of information available for farmers, landowners, urbanites and kids and throughout the day on Friday you will get to meet the wonderful Ruud Kleinpaste who will be on site to surprise and delight.
