Ears pricked! Today is Day 1 of the iconic NZ Cup & Show week in Canterbury, kicking off at Riccarton Park Racecourse. While the premier racing will be run behind closed doors, and with reduced crowds, it will still be a spectacle to enjoy from the couch. The horses are primed to perform, and will be groomed to perfection. We will have two horse ambulances on track to ensure the horses get home safe and sound. #TheHorseFirst 🐎💨 Enjoy your week Canterbury! 🏆❤️🖤 #NZCupAndShowWeek #OnShow #NoShow #HorseWelfare #EquineWelfare #LoveRacing #HorseAmbulance
