• New Zealand Performanc­e Horses (NZPH) is one of the largest sport horse-breeding enterprise­s in Australasi­a.

• Sport horses are bred for trainabili­ty and willingnes­s to work, hence their associatio­n with traditiona­l equestrian events such as show jumping and dressage.

• NZPH horses are explicitly bred for show jumping and generally are sold before they are three years old.

• NZPH has bred more than 17 qualifiers for the FEI World Cup, the crème de la crème of show jumping, since inception.

• It imports frozen semen from top stallions in Europe through the Normandy-based operation GFE (Groupe France Elevage).

• The best fillies are kept and become broodmares.

• NZPH employs a full-time technician and two assistants and has clients mainly in New Zealand but also Europe, Japan, the United States and Mexico. nzph.co.nz
