30 miniature ponies will cover 100km in race over 90 mile beach
Planning a lazy weekend ahead? That's a neigh, from a group of unusual endurace athletes. This long weekend, 30 miniature ponies and their human support people will cover 100km in a four day race over Northland's 90 mile beach and nearby forest. Two legged entrants are paired up with a tiny trotter and they run the race side by side. Money raised goes to supporting rescued miniature ponies. Chloe Phillips-Harris speaks to Lisa Owen.
