New Inductee to Rider Hall of Fame
Barry ladd
Barry began riding as a 5 year old on a Donkey called Scotty. He went on to ponies and later station hacks when he worked as a Contract Musterer on many Stations around Gisborne. He started breeding Quarter horses in 1975 and registered his first horses, Gina’s Pride and Gay Imp that year. Western Performance was his sport of choice for many years from 1978 and he continued to compete with Catherine and Jacob joining him as they got old enough.
He started Cutting after Jacob had showed an interest in the sport after seeing the shows at both Taupo and Taumarunui and took the opportunity to join him in that sport. In Barry’s first year of Cutting he rode Jacob’s horse Jay Di plus he was generously given rides by others at the time to get experience. He was at that time also training I’m Guna Cut and taking her to Shows and went on that year 2008 to win the Futurity. Since then he has trained another 8 Cutting horses winning his 2nd Futurity in 2016, with Instant Whiz who also won the South Island Futurity that season.
Then this year 2021 he won again with Reckless Driver.
The Highs of his Cutting.....Winning each Futurity.
Placing 2nd in the Open at the Futurity show this year with his young horse and getting the highest score for all Futurity Horses at that show. Seeing Catherine win her first Futurity in 2009 and watching Jacob also train his own Futurity Horse
Competing against 3 other family members at Shows, its always fierce competition!!!
Overall he really enjoys training young horses in the sport of Cutting, no easy feat. He loves to show, winning or not and of course enjoys time with family and friends.
