Our Partners
Backing the breeders who back the sport
The New Zealand Standardbred Breeders Association (NZSBA) relies on the generosity and belief of our commercial partners, whose support plays a crucial role in enabling us to operate and advocate effectively each year. As a not-for-profit organisation largely driven by volunteers, these partnerships help fund our national advocacy, events, publications, awards, and member services — all of which contribute to a stronger future for breeders in Aotearoa.
We are proud to be supported by the following like-minded organisations who share our passion for the standardbred industry:
