Stratford Park Equestrian Complex

27/01/2026

👋 We’ve been a bit quiet… but there’s good reason!

If you’ve read our latest Stratford Park newsletter (https://www.stratfordpark.co.nz/stratford-park/end-of-year-update-dec-2025/ ), you’ll know we’re very close to starting groundworks after some careful replanning to make sure the Equestrian Complex is achievable and sustainable long-term. Things are moving, and we’re excited about what’s ahead.

In the meantime, we’ve teamed up with the Taranaki Chamber of Commerce on a fun and easy fundraiser using the brand-new Taranaki Monopoly board 🎲

For every game purchased for 2026, Stratford Park Equestrian Complex receives a $10 donation — just make sure you use our unique code at checkout.

💚 It’s a great gift, supports local, and helps us keep momentum going.

How to support us:
• Visit taranakimonopoly.co.nz/pages/fundraising
• Add the game to your cart
• Use our code at checkout: SPE
• We receive a $10 donation per game

Thanks so much for backing the project — every bit helps, and we can’t wait to share the next update 🐎✨

Did you know...?

A while ago we've sown a horse mix grass on a portion of the equestrian complex site, it's grown in well and is ready to cut! 🤩

Looking for interest in mini-silage bales - these will be cut next week if we have enough interest. Not horse-grazed, some rye but mostly horse-suitable species.

$25/ bale ~120 avaliable.

Message asap to order- call will be made after Sunday (1 December).
