Boxer Shaw
Gisborne,GIS
Summary
I am a young fit & hardworking Father of 3.
My family and i currently reside in Whatatutu, Gisborne. Where we live on a small farm with all our horses and dogs. We are a horse orientated family as we do horse sports, hunts, trekking and camps in the bush to give our kids experiences to look back on.
I am currently employed by a roading company MYTII limited. With the dream of doing anything horse related full time as it is my passion and all I’ve been doing my whole life.
One highlight for me progressing breaking in horses would have been doing our TV show “Native Ride” which allowed me to travel to America and break in horses for the native people of the land. It opened a lot more opportunities for me in the horse business.
On occasion when I have time outside of my everyday job I spend my days breaking in horses trying to progress a business I currently co-found “Te Araroa Horsemen” and spend my days with family.
