Take the opportunity to see the only privately owned memorial to the war horses in New Zealand dedicated to the horses of the 8th Regiment of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles at Birch Hill Station Cemetery with a Heritage New Zealand listing of category two. This monument is rare both nationally and internationally and built in 1937 by E.B. Millton
It is our duty as horse lovers to remember the 10,000 horses who left our shores to serve in horrific conditions. They deserved a medal but were never given one.
So come join in on your own horse/pony or walk with us as we make local history.
