On Barfoot & Thompson Auckland Cup Day we were lucky enough to host the second running of the Dunstan Feeds Auckland Clydesdale Cup.
This year, eight Clydesdales took to the track in a battle to see who would be crowned 2020's winner.
CONGRATULATIONS!
After two heats & a fierce final, the overall winners were Saara Soar and Frank the Tank (pictured right) who had placed second in 2019's race.
Prior to the big day, Saara, who is the owner of Muriwai Horse Treks, was kind enough to take us behind the scenes of one of her training sessions aboard Frank (who happened to place second in last year's Clydesdale Cup!). Check it out here
