Segway Horses compete at Soul's Melbourne Cup extravaganza

For the fourth year running, Auckland's outstanding waterfront restaurant Soul featured Segway Horse Races - part of the entertainment for diners during yesterday's Melbourne Cup extravaganza. The competition was intense, the track was dry and the beautifully dressed crowd went wild as hopefuls mounted their electric steeds to take away best male and best female Segway jockey for 2012.
Men and women compete for "Best Segway Jockey" on their electric Segway Steeds under the watchful eye of an enormous Mumm-red stallion.
The activity was a timed slalom race around a cones course - a variation on our famous Segway Challenge corporate event. Segway games are an engaging and exciting way to entertain a group, and are always a popular choice for work Christmas functions (contact Segway New Zealand to enquire and make a booking).
