Zeb Horrell with one of the horses that will be burnt at the Burning Horse Festival at The Montana Flat near Riversdale. The Burning Horse Festival takes the summer music festival back to its roots with a light salting of New Zealand DIY and farm antics. The summer music festival scene has become big business with crowds of people paying hundreds of dollars to see international acts, but Zeb Horrell plans to bring a worthy festival experience to Southland. The Burning Horse Festival, held in the back country of Gore, expects a turnout of around 600 to a thousand people, with three days of music on two stages, all organised through the people that Horrell stumbled upon. The Burning Horse Festival plans to provide entertainment for a demographic often disregarded in Southland.
