Join the Breeders
Support the future of standardbred breeding in New Zealand
For just $90.00 per season (1 August – 31 July), becoming a member of the New Zealand Standardbred Breeders Association (NZSBA) means more than just accessing a range of services — it’s a vote of support for the people working behind the scenes to secure a better future for our breeding community.
NZSBA is a not-for-profit kindred body, made up of passionate volunteers and regional representatives who give their time, knowledge, and energy to advocate on behalf of breeders across Aotearoa. With limited resources and no commercial agenda, our efforts are firmly focused on creating long-term value for our members and protecting the future of the standardbred breed in New Zealand.
By joining, you're helping strengthen the voice of breeders and enabling us to continue the important work of advocacy, promotion, education, and recognition — from the paddock to the boardroom.
