Miniature Show For Horses

Ponies and horses from all parts of the Nelson province, and a big contingent from Marlborough, competed in the Wakatu Pony Club's miniature show held at the airport on Labour weekend. The show, the big event of the year in the club's programme, gives riders and horses the opportunity of showing their paces before the Nelson A. and P. show this month.
