New initiatives to encourage breeding in 2025
Two new schemes, with the joint goal of getting more mares in foal, have been announced in time for the 2025 breeding season.
The New Zealand Standardbred Breeders Association (NZSBA) has created a database of mares that are available right around the country while the North Canterbury-based Wai Eyre Farm has come up with a new "Lease to Buy" programme.
NZSBA :
The NZSBA's live table of all available mares is an interim step before it launches its Breeders Exchange platform later this month.
It is an easy to use guide to see what mares are available and where they are based.

Got a mare you won’t be breeding this year? It’s not too late to add her to the list!

The database updates automatically as new entries are added.

Wai Eyre Farm :
Wai Eyre Farm in conjunction with Dancingonmoonlight Farm and Yabby Dam Farms is again looking for broodmares.
They want :
Mares for sale
Mares and Fillies currently racing for sale or lease
Lease mares for us to breed
They have many options, including discounts, in place to help breeders.
The Farm had also announced what it says is an "industry first".
It is going to trial a Lease to Buy Program for a select number of mares that it will then breed to a selection of its stallions.
In the first instance there will be no cost.
Breeders will then have the option to purchase the resulting foal at an agreed price, at weaning.
Wai Eyre says the program takes away the inherent risks involved with breeding and will give breeders confidence knowing that there will be a viable weanling at the end of the process.
