New stallions approved
Three new stallions have recently approved by The Irish Horse Society of New Zealand, which means their progeny can be registered with the Society.
We need to have more horses registered. Registering horses assures future purchasers of their horses bloodlines, makes them easier to sell, and most if all is great advertising for Irish horses competing in New Zealand. See the Stallions page for more contacts and website links.
The new stallions are:

Frozen semen available in NZ if there is enough interest ...
Baltydaniel Breeze RID 16hh, 9.5inches of bone, grey and has the most wonderful temperament, and fabulous movement. I have been riding him in dressage over here for a few months and we have won a few ribbons which is great. If there is interest I intend to send a shipment to NZ in August. Currently Balty is in quarantine having semen collected for freezing. His post thaw motility rates are 60%, which is fabulous.
He is not related to any of the Draught lines currently in NZ or Australia, and has been identified as a rare line draught by the IHB, for which breeders are encouraged to use.
