We are very blessed to get these professionals out to NZ with their busy schedules.” “A fabulous opportunity for those who were on the clinic to learn from Robert, a true legend of cutting in Australia. Robert has so much knowledge and expertise and Robert was very good at communicating that to us all. We all learnt heaps it was just awesome.” “Special thanks also to Helen and Colin Holmes for hosting the clinic and providing such a wonderful property and facility.” They would like to thank Kristin, Lizzie, Molly and Eilidh for all their help before and during the clinic and the KCCC. Thank you to Lori for sharing your knowledge of cutting worldwide, your family’s immense contribution for introducing cutting into Australia and your willingness to help the NZCHA in any way you could be it the Hall of Fame, Youth etc. Thank you Robert for coming to NZ.

HERITAGE HALL OF FAME
Congratulations to the latest inductee into the NZCHA Heritage Hall of Fame - Robert Thompson
Robert Thompsons contribution to New Zealand Cutting is immense.
Over the past years since becoming a member in 2004, he has travelled all over the country to compete and continued to freely give his time to help in any way.
He carted a help horse for years even after he had stopped competing, and has spent many hours in the saddle turning back, herd holding, and settling herds for competitors. Off his horse he continued to help by Arena Directing and working out the back to bring in cattle for settling.
He served on the NZCHA council from 2008 till 2012.
He also held a NZCHA judges ticket.
His success in the cutting pen is numerous, winning several titles on his great horse Peptos Style N Spin and also success on both Commanche Moon and Home on The Range, both of whom he bred and trained.
Along the way, he has offered his horse, “Pepto” to others to compete, and they who had the privilege to ride him enjoyed great success.
In 2015 , Robert was inducted into the Non Pro Rider Hall Of Fame for Non Pro earnings over $4,000.00 and Peptos Style N Spin was inducted into the Horses Hall Of Fame in 2011 for earnings over $5,000.00 and also the Horses Heritage Hall of Fame
Roberts willingness to help do anything and never ending support of the NZCHA, is very much appreciated by everyone involved in New Zealand Cutting. We congratulate you on your award and induction into the Heritage Hall Of Fame.

ROYAL PEPPY was a Bay mare born 17/11/85 by Little Peppy Doc out of Cutter Bow (by Cutter Could x Bow Dell). She is deceased.
She was bred by D Joe Davis in Australia and imported into NZ by A Head. She was also owned by the Holmes family and M Flego.
Progeny: ( KINGS BADGER, MISS ROYAL DURACK, DURACKS REFLECTION & DOCS BARNIBOS)
Alan Head has added to her story about Royal Peppy arriving here in NZ. He was looking for a mare to breed to Donald Gunns stallion Kings Philip, John went out to Donalds place and thought that Royal Peppy would be OK to bring over to NZ. His comment was she was pretty correct, but nothing outstanding about her except she was very well bred, which Alan agreed with. So he paid Donald Gunn and she was shipped over here to NZ . Alan remembered Bruce Coleman buying the colt, which Alan had named Paekak Peppy Doc, because he was born at Paekakariki. Bruce asked me to change the name, so we did to Kings Badger.

ROYAL PEPPY was a Bay mare born 17/11/85 by Little Peppy Doc out of Cutter Bow (by Cutter Could x Bow Dell). She is deceased.
She was bred by D Joe Davis in Australia and imported into NZ by A Head. She was also owned by the Holmes family and M Flego.
Progeny: ( KINGS BADGER, MISS ROYAL DURACK, DURACKS REFLECTION & DOCS BARNIBOS)
Alan Head has added to her story about Royal Peppy arriving here in NZ. He was looking for a mare to breed to Donald Gunns stallion Kings Philip, John went out to Donalds place and thought that Royal Peppy would be OK to bring over to NZ. His comment was she was pretty correct, but nothing outstanding about her except she was very well bred, which Alan agreed with. So he paid Donald Gunn and she was shipped over here to NZ . Alan remembered Bruce Coleman buying the colt, which Alan had named Paekak Peppy Doc, because he was born at Paekakariki. Bruce asked me to change the name, so we did to Kings Badger.
