The country's largest equestrian event - Horse of the Year - starts at the showgrounds in Hastings Tuesday morning.
It's been cancelled three years on the trot due to Covid and Cyclone Gabrielle, but today thousands of horses, ponies and people will be taking part in the six-day programme.
It includes dressage, cross country and show jumping as well as wining and dining.
Horse of the Year director Sophie Blake spoke to Corin Dann.
