Welcome to Equestrian Sports New Zealand. We are Aotearoa New Zealand’s national sports organisation, supporting equestrians and horses across all activities and disciplines. We are delighted to have you along for the ride.
We now have a page dedicated to our significant milestone of 75 years since our forerunner, the New Zealand Horse Society, was formed. Please follow the button below to learn more about what we have planned as we recognise our history, and our people.

The responsibility of being the guardians of horse welfare within equestrian sport is an important task and relies on everyone engaged in the sport.
We understand that it is a privilege to involve horses in sport, racing and leisure and this comes with responsibilities to the horse.
We commit to respecting that horses are sentient beings with individual personalities. We will ensure the horse’s welfare is always our priority.
We undertake to continually develop our understanding of horse behaviour and equine welfare needs, and to proactively use this knowledge to provide a life for horses through our organisation which is positive and away from anything which might be harmful or negative.
