Equine Stars Walk of Fame

Cambridge has a long -standing relationship with New Zealand’s thoroughbred industry. It is a place where world-class horses are bred, trained, and celebrated.   From legendary broodmares and champion sires to Olympic medal-winners and Melbourne Cup heroes, the town’s Equine Stars Walk of Fame pays tribute to equine greatness with striking mosaics set into the pavements of the central streets. Names like Eight Carat, Mainbrace, Charisma, Jenner, Hunterville, and Sir Tristram remind visitors that Cambridge is a centre of equestrian success.   Wander along Victoria Street to find 18 mosaics set into the footpath which celebrate famous local horses.
