Our Story

Joseph Pohlen was one of the greatest benefactors in the Matamata district. He made huge financial gifts for the building of Pohlen Hospital and for the Catholic Church and was a tremendous supporter of many local organisations.

He was born in 1872 at Harapepe, northwest of Te Awamutu. Joseph was educated in Harapepe and grew up on his father’s farm.

At the age of 14 Joe, as he was known, went to work on A J Scott’s farm for five shillings a week and earn his keep. After four years, he moved to Shaftesbury, near Te Aroha, to work on E F Roche’s farm. Here, as a young farm hand, he showed the beginning of a life-long interest in horses and horse racing. It was here he purchased his first farm mare and decided to race her at Te Aroha in March 1894. He walked and rode over rough roads to Te Awamutu, to enter his horse in a race which she soon won.
