Bayleys Sheep Dog Trials

Join us for an unforgettable day in the countryside as the Bayleys Sheep Dog Trials return – showcasing the remarkable partnership between handler and dog in one of New Zealand’s most time-honoured rural sports.

This family-friendly event offers spectators a rare opportunity to witness the intelligence, instinct, and precision of expertly trained sheepdogs as they navigate challenging courses under the guidance of their handlers. It’s a captivating display of teamwork and tradition, set against the backdrop of our beautiful rural landscape.

But this day is about more than just competition – it’s about community. Proceeds from the event will go towards supporting the life-saving work of the Greenlea Rescue Helicopter, helping ensure emergency services can reach those in need, no matter how remote.
