| Horses that will be implemented over the next two years. |

| The NZSHPB is implementing a selective breeding program in conjunction with Massey University, |
| Palmerston North based on performance of horses in competition with Equestrian Sport New Zealand. At |
| this stage, the studbook will remain essentially open, but breeding stock which have been proven in |
| competition and/or by selection for type will have this noted in their pedigrees, and those of their |
| offspring. This recognition will include selective breeding accreditation from other related sport horse |
| breed societies in New Zealand and overseas. |
| |
| The NZSHPB is also implementing specific breed improvement programs for eventers and jumpers which |
| will be based on suitable pedigrees and performance of mares, stallions and/or progeny at top level. In |
| particular, we want to document which of the older bloodlines have been successful in NZ before that |
| knowledge is lost to future generations. |
| |
| Dr Chris Rogers is the committee member responsible for developing guidelines for selective breeding in |
| this register. You can contact him at Massey University - his email is on our CONTACT US page. |
