The NZPCA are very excited to be joining ESNZ in their Change the Rein campaign.

Change the Rein is a campaign designed to advocate for a caring, supportive and positive culture in equestrian sport in New Zealand. It is currently being rolled out across the country with more than 100 message boards already sent to events to use and GameChangers awards for people who exhibit the values of the campaign – kindness, support, horse care, gratitude and integrity.

Change the Rein is a technical riding term that means change direction. It became the catchphrase of the campaign due to its reference to a conscious change, in this case relating to behaviour. It has taken off, resonated well with stakeholders and taken on a life of its own.

​​​​​​​We will be putting a call out after Christmas for you to send us your GameChangers stories so that we can recognise those good deeds that really make a differnce to your day.

ESNZ- Change the Rein

How you can nominate a #GameChanger

#GameChangers is about encouraging people to tell us about acts of kindness or helpfulness by NZCA Pony Club members that made a difference to someone’s day.  So, please keep your eyes and ears open when you’re out and about and nominate someone you witness doing something kind, supportive, helpful for someone (or a horse) that demonstrates the sort of inclusive, supportive, safe and friendly culture we’re working towards with Change the Rein.  We will make sure people are aware of what great people we have in our sport.

If you want to nominate an NZPCA #GameChanger, this is what you do:

Please email to megan@nzpca.org the following information (#GameChangers in the subject line):

• Person nominating the #GameChanger – your name, contact details (email & phone number)
• Who is the NZPCA member being nominated as a #GameChanger (name, discipline, area group/club and role eg official, rider, volunteer, parent)
• Photo of the #GameChanger person (not necessarily in the act, so to speak)
• What was the #GameChanger behaviour witnessed and the outcome (this doesn’t need to be heroic – just a kind, considerate, helpful, supportive, inclusive, welcoming, friendly act)
