Henry Porcher Lance

LANCE, HENRY PORCHER (1830-86) was a son of the Rev. E. J. Lance, of Buckland St Mary, Somersetshire. Coming to New Zealand with his brother, J. D. Lance (q.v.), he was interested with him and the Mallocks in several Canterbury properties, notably Four Peaks, Heathstock and Horsley Downs. He took little part in managing the stations, but was interested in stud breeding and produced many fine thoroughbred horses at Heathstock and Horsley Downs. He was a daring and clever gentleman rider and won many races both on the flat and across country with Strike a Light, Emmeline and Market Gardener. In England also he rode, as Mr Dart, with notable success. In Canterbury in partnership with Creyke he purchased Henry Redwood's stud, including Lady Bird and Miss Lee. In 1862 they won the Canterbury Cup with Revoke and the Derby with Azucena; in 1863 the Cup with Golden Cloud; and in 1864 and 1865 the Derby (with Egrement and Nebula). In 1868 Lance went to England. On his return 10 years later he was joined by Mallock and they owned some noted winners, including Foul Play and Nemo.

Lance represented Sefton in the Canterbury Provincial Council (1862-65). He married first Miss Bradshaw, and second a daughter of the Hon William Robinson (q.v.). He died on 19 May 1886.
