James Wattie’s ‘Olympic’ Champion!
In 1953, 19-year-old Peter Holden, now a resident at James Wattie Village in Havelock North, took home the inaugural Olympic Cup. This led him to a lifelong legacy of equestrian involvement.
Presented to the New Zealand Showjumper of the Year, the Olympic Cup was a first for New Zealand showjumpers. In 1953 Peter competed and won on his mother’s horse Starlight, and again took home the cup in 1957 aboard Rum.
The now 90-year-old recalls the initial competition, which was originally held in Palmerston North.
