Entry is free for spectators.

The Bayley’s Sheep Dog Trials are on this week and is set to be the largest sheep dog trials in New Zealand.

Just under 300 highly skilled sheep dogs will compete for the winner’s title and a place on the Bayley’s Sheep Dog Trials Honours Board.

Held indoor at the National Equestrian Centre, at Aratiatia, the trials will take place rain or shine. 

The event runs from June 25-28 and entry is free for spectators.

Last year, the trials raised $30,000, for Greenlea Rescue Helicopter - a critical lifeline for remote and rural areas across the Central Plateau and Lakes region.

Event organiser David Schaw understands the rescue helicopters importance firsthand, having been rescued after an on-farm accident on his remote station.

In 2024 alone, the Greenlea Rescue Helicopter was dispatched to 90 rural or remote missions, responding to quad bike incidents, tractor incidents, animal-related incidents, medical emergencies and more.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
