NZWA Stallion Classification

NZWA Stallion Licensing

The New Zealand Warmblood Horse Association (NZWA) has a classification process in place to inspect colts and stallions.

On passing inspection, a certificate is issued to enable the stallion or colt to become a licensed stallion. Further to classification and licensing, stallions that achieve significant success (either individually or via their progeny) can be elevated within the stud book to Principal or Elite status.
