Looking for a horse to lease of buy.
Hi, We are looking for a cheapish horse for my 13 year old daughter. We are open to leasing or buying but would want to trial the horse first to see that they are a good fit for each other. My daughter has 2 years' experience riding at Waikato Equestrian Centre and we have kept minis for 4 years. The ideal horse would be 15.2 - 16 hh and a gentle hack. The horse would be kept on our lifestyle block and would be well looked after. If you think your horse would fit the bill or you know anybody who might have one please call Connor on 021 706 727
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Have you come across many roadworks sites recently?
The frustration of seeing a detour sign partway through your journey on the main highways possibly the new way forward when it comes to roadworks.
One of the latest areas to have a section of the road blocked off is State Highway 1 between Putāruru to Tokoroa as part of a massive renewal project that extends down to Waiouru.
