Ponies jumping more than a metre are geared to impress at the final day of the annual Te Puke Showjumping Festival.

The popular event, which attracts entries from across the North Island, is being held at the Te Puke Pony Club and A & P Showgrounds facilities on Showgrounds Road from 9am.

The festival is set to peak with the championship event today, which will see ponies jumping rings as high as 1.25 metres.

Alternatively, the Mount CrossFit National Team Competition is taking place at TECT Arena, where New Zealand's top ranking CrossFit athletes are competing to win the coveted trophy and $1000 prize money.

CrossFit combines endurance, weight-lifting, gymnastics and much more into a high intensity workout and is one of the world's fastest-growing sports.

Entry tickets to the Mount CrossFit National Team Competition today are available at the door for just $10 per adult, $5 per child or $20 for a family pass.
