I am regretfully archiving this cache since there's been no response from nor action by the cache owner within the time frame requested in a prior reviewer note.
It turns out the horse jumps have changed and the jump this cache was hidden under is no longer here, but there are other jumps very nearby. We will have this cache up and running again shortly
My GPS is giving me gip today, but luckily bit was a nice size & easy find. TFTC!
Arrived here and found the Farmer’s market was happening. Didn’t realise it was going to be so busy. Strolled round and bought some treats then headed off to look for the six caches in the Showgrounds. Managed 4 finds 1 DNF and 1 Didn’t attempt as there were muggles congregating at GZ. This took awhile as the GPS got me to the middle of 3-4 options. Finally spotted it. Thanks for the smiley
found with mrpretty. over grown area atm so a sneaky hide indeeed. thank you for the good morning cache
**16,070**
It seems that Mrs Geckoh found every squelchy, mud-filled section of the field as we wander to this last cache. Mr Geckoh quickly located the cache that seemed a bit exposed but returned as found, but tucked behind a little more. TFTC

Easy one for Kezzle33 but GPS was about 10m off, showing field instead of tree line which was a good clue to just keep to the treeline anyway
It is about ten meters away from were the navigation says it in on the tree line by one of the actual trees that are dead not the bushes
You'd think this would have been an easy find but after spending 15 mins on hands and knees, nothing but sore hands and knees.
Found after a bit of scrambling around on the ground. Decided to head to the twilight market for food and then walk it off with some caching. First find of the evening TFTC
Yeah! A find! Not quite where our phones led us but we did find it. Thanks for bringing us to these grounds HeMaLuDy! The dogs are enjoying themselves too.
Out collecting caches this afternoon parked up nearby and took a stroll around the Showgrounds and surrounding area.Made a nice quick find here at this special numbered jump.
Find number 5980. There were muggles sitting near GZ when I passed on to the market cache. By the time I got back they had gone. Cache signed and returned. Thank you for the placement.
I saw recently where in Finland you are able to compete in a show jumping event where the use hobbyhorses instead of real horses.

Out caching for the day in the Clevdon Showgrounds. Nice to find the place desserted on a weekday. Only a couple of dog walkers. Found it out in the open, so put it back in its hidy hole. Thanks for hiding HeMaLuDy
Out for a walk around the Clevedon Showgrounds on this windy afternoon. We walked over the fields to the Horse Sports area and soon zeroed in on where the cache had to be- and there it was. Thanks.
Taking the four legged for a walk somewhere different. ....he absolutely loved walking around the park, and checking out the new smells..... spotted whilst walking to GZ.
Found with EIR-0T.

A quick and easy find on a circuit of the showgrounds. I missed the last one in the middle as there was a worker in their truck right at GZ. Next time. Thanks
TIme to head back west to catch up with family.
Thanks to all CO's for placing and maintaining their caches. Cheers

Another nice day of caching for the Hidden Creatures challenge. This was a fast and easy find, makes up for the last one, that took me ages. TFTC
Hidden Creatures Challenge... Accepted !!! Found with Piratenschatzsucher! and Pyphant and signed as Team Piraten. TFTC
Another afternoon spent down south collecting caches for the Hidden Creatures event. Find 12 more caches to unlock the World Turtle souvenir. Time to enjoy a nice walk in the winter sunshine around the Cleavedon Showgrounds. Multiple logs in container, all mush. Removed and replaced with an all weather log sheet. Picked up the TB. TFTC 
Enjoying a wander around the reserve on a quiet Monday morning, quick find here, cheers
The rain clouds are really gathering. The soccer players are now on the field, and I think I will not make it back before the heavens open!
Made my way over the field to the suspected GZ and it was nice to find another quick cache. Thanks
On an early morning caching mission, 2 of the clan hatched a plan to make an early morning trip north and to find enough caches to qualify for the Planetary Pursuit. Careful planning was made and we had a very enjoyable hunting out the caches. Thanks also go out to all the cache owners who have placed and maintained the caches.
Dear Cache Owners,
I am a German guy who stays in New Zealand for eight months.
My English is not perfect, so please don't wonder if my log entries sound a bit strange. Thanks!
----------
Nice weather, so I went out to find some Caches.
I was happy, that I could find all of them.
Last one for today. Nice box, could find it quickly.
Thanks for hiding!

No problems making the find here, I was quite surprised that it has never been muggled, I was always under the impression that the riders walk around the course looking for items that might disrupt the horses. Not that this would, but I thought they'd remove it if they ever saw it. Clearly the crossover between equestrian sports and geocaching is not that high. All good here - the original logbook looks like a biological warfare experiment so I clearly avoided that and signed the logsheet. Thanks for the cache, all good here.
An easy find for the kids. Found with southamd. Took a swap and left one. Tftc
Taking a geocaching route from Pukekohe to Howick. It's a great day for a stroll around the showgrounds.
I made hard work of this. It was in the obvious place but I didn't see the camo for a while.TFTC.

Nice quick find on a lovely spring evening. First time walking around this reserve.
I was out in this part of Auckland collecting the Scenic Route series and popped into the show ground to collect these ones. I had the place to myself as it was raining. Nice quick find as cache was out in the open. I tucked it under as best I could. TFTC.
Forcing the kids away from their screens, making master 16 do some of his Duke of Edinburgh Skill component. Water, water everywhere at GZ. Signed the log that was left by SethRaven as the notebook is sodden. TFTC
This is our last find for today . . . . . we went to a Geocachers anonymous breakfast at Dennys in Pakuranga this morning and then our Guide leader took us Geocaching. Thanks for the hide. 
Out today with the Girl Guides for their Geocaching badge and we found this quickly. It is very wet inside so we left a page out of a notebook (as I had left my bag of goodies in the car - sorry) TFTC
We attended the Geocacher's Anonymous breakfast this morning at Denny's and then headed out to find some caches towards our Geocaching badge. There was a horse event just finishing up here today so we couldn't get one of the caches but we can come back another day for the others - - - probably will be other girls from the Unit. This cache was very wet inside so we left a page out of a notebook for others coming to sign. Thanks for the hide.
Found it, lots of water inside the container from the rain... Left some trades and logged online but couldn't write on log as the paper was too wet
Great idea having a series in the Showgrounds .
I have wanted to come down and do them for ages !
This was a good hide ! Nice and quiet here Sunday afternoon .

RR soon had this one in hand. TFTC

Quick find by me so no refusal at this jump! Many thanks
Travelling around the world with Dartmoor Deliverer celebrating her taking early retirement!
NB Dont forget our Devon UK Mega 2017 GC6JZNY this August in the beautiful East Devon area of our county. UK Megas are over one week full of events and geocaching - a wonderful way to enjoy our county!
