Show Name: Wāhi Ngaro (Maori for: divine intervention)
Barn Name: Boss
Age: 6

Personality: Boss is a bit of a performer, and likes nothing better than to be the centre of attention. He loves being petted and adores small children, even if his size seems to scare them, and loves to give children rides.
History: Bruce found Boss by chance. He was visiting friends who had recently purchased a large farm on the Canterbury Plains. While they were out in the farm truck surveying the paddocks when the horse appeared out of nowhere. After a number of calls it seemed that the horse had been abandoned on the property so the new property owners also owned the horse. As the couple knew nothing of horses they were more than happy for Bruce to take the horse with him. At the time he was found, Boss was a stallion, but Bruce had him gelded so that Bruce could teach on horseback.
Discipline: All Rounder
