NZWA Horse Passports

9 Jun 2019

Tonight the NZWA can reveal the most exciting news since our inauguration into the WBFSH back in December. We are very proudly the ONLY studbook in New Zealand approved by the FEI to produce Passports.

NZWA Joins WBFSH

NZWA Joins WBFSH

10 Dec 2018

It is with great excitement that the NZWA can now announce that we have been provisionally accepted into the World Breeders Federation for Sport Horses which means our book-keeping and stud books are up to an international standard.

This also means our great NZ horses who have been performing well on the International stage, (e.g. the world's leading eventor Balmoral Sensation) can now be linked back to their country and Register / Stud Book of origin.

We can now, as an officially recognised breed, also enter horses in the FEI World Championships for young horses across all three disciplines.

This is a MASSIVE day for horse breeding in New Zealand.

Statement about WFFS from the New Zeland Warmblood Association

14 May 2018

The NZWA would like to advise its members about a genetic condition which has been discussed in the equine media as of late. The condition is called Warmblood Fragile Foal Syndrome or (WFFS).

It is an autosomal recessive defect. This means that both males and females can carry the gene and that in-order for a horse to be affected with WFFS the animal must inherit the gene from BOTH parents. It seems largely confined to the Warmblood breeds of horses and has been found across most lines and studbooks.
