Marty Smith Collection

Marty Smith (Taranaki T+turu, Te -ti Awa) has been in racing for years; if not as a rider or an owner/breeder, then putting on a fiver here and there. She thanks the TAB for some nice dresses. She spent her teaching life at Taradale High School, loving the school family. Her poetry collection Horse with Hat won the NZSA Jessie Mackay Best First Book Award for Poetry in 2014. In 2015 she won an arts grant to take half a yearGs grace to write this book. Ten years later, she thanks those generous people more than they can know.
