Is the ESNZ equine casual registration fee per day, class or show and how much is it?
My Equine is fully ESNZ registered with a jumping annual start; can I add an Eventing annual start half way through my registration period?
Yes, however this will expire at the same time as the original registration and you will have to pay the full annual start fee, regardless of when you add this.
If I choose to use a flexi discipline start what can I compete in?
At what level do I need to fill in an ID Page and does the vet need to fill this in for me?
This needs to be filled in for all fully registered equines. All ID pages required for ESNZ registration can be filled out by an owner/rider/person responsible over the age of 18. All ID pages required by the FEI (i.e. Passports) are required to be filled out by a Vet.

I have just brought a horse. Can I change this into my name?
Yes, providing you have completed a change of ownership form with the previous owner’s signature on it. To be the principle owner of an equine you must be a financial member of ESNZ.
Watch our how to video on how to transfer the ownership of a horse.
What if my horse is owned by a syndicate of two or more?
One person must be listed as the primary owner in our system. This person must be a financial member.
I am a volunteer at shows at what point do I need to be a member?
You need to be a member if you are one of these:
- All listed officials including stewards.
- All ESNZ office holders including Board,
Discipline Boards, Sub-Committees, NEC
Committees & Area Groups.
However, volunteers who work at the shows do not need to be members if they are working for the organising committee under the event health and safety policy, but will be required to register their details on the ESNZ database at no cost as part of our health and safety programme.
Register as a volunteer here.
Why do officials have to pay?
As part of our insurance policy all officials have to be financial members of the organisation. This has been the case for a long time and is not new. It relates to judges, course designers, official stewards, and board members etc.
Register as an official here.
When do I need a Rider's Licence?
A Rider’s Licence is a requirement if you are planning to ride overseas. Your ESNZ Full membership will need to be current as any licence processed will run concurrently with your membership. When competing overseas you will be required to have an ESNZ Full Membership. Please note that if you intend to ride in FEI classes overseas you will also need to be FEI registered. Some National Federations also require that you become a member of the country in which you are competing for national classes. New Zealand has the same policy for Foreign Riders; they must be members of ESNZ to compete at national level.
How Much Is a Rider’s Licence?
Rider License fee is $50
How do I Obtain a Rider’s License?
Complete a Rider Licence Form and submit it to ESNZ with payment and we can arrange for a Rider’s Licence to be processed and emailed to you.
How long does it take to process a Rider’s Licence?
A Rider’s Licence is approved by the discipline Sport Manager and the General Manager of ESNZ.
Please be aware that this can take a couple of days to process.
Register here if you are a guest.
Is there an overseas guest membership?
Yes, we offer a membership option for overseas guests visiting our country.
We offer two options:
Visiting Rider (Short Stay) – Membership valid for three Events only. Riders will be asked to list events they intend to compete at.

I am competing this weekend and have not sent in my registration/membership in yet, will this get done in time?
If you submit your registration via our online database, your registration will be automatically processed.
If you email or post your registration, it is best to follow up with a phone call to us at ESNZ if you are needing it urgently, so that our membership team can prioritise your registration.
Why does ESNZ spend money on a marquee at Badminton?
This project is part of the High Performance programme to ensure owners of our international horses and supporters of our Olympic rated athletes are looked after at one event per year. This is important for them as they largely fund the success of these combinations.
The hospitality is budgeted and paid through the high performance funding and is not a cost to the ESNZ Central budget.
