Rare Breeds Display
The girls from Rare Horse Society have arranged horses for the Rare Breeds Conservation Society of NZ Horse display since 2022.
Next event 13 - 15 November 2025
Otago Equine Expo -October 2023
This will be our first solo rare breed horse display out from under the Rare Breeds Conservation Society of NZ. We are aiming for the biggest and most spectacular rare breed horse display ever.
The display will feature horses in pens to be admired and met by the public throughout the two day event. There will be a ridden demonstration area in half of the A&P showgrounds arena where the horses can be ridden or shown off in any manner. An obstacle course will be set up for all day in hand or ridden play and each breed gets a time slot.
We have a phenomenal number of horses attending to represent various breeds but we are still looking to fill spaces for some as well as requiring back up breeds in case any fall through. Get in contact if you are interested!
-------
This event was a huge success with 17 Rare Horse Breeds in attendance. We have been invited back for the next show which will be October 2025.
A big thank you to Fred's Fencing who sponsored the large pens for the bigger horses and kept them contained and safe.
Fred also provided a round pen for the Expo to raffle off as a fundraiser. We can't thank him enough for his efforts with this show and his products are fantastic quality.

Past Events
This website is a work in progress. Please reach out to correct and update information. We would like to feature great educational videos, photos of real horses proving their versatility and strengths, accurate preservation status numbers, news on the breeds from NZ and overseas, up to date contacts, links to websites, registries and associated entities for the breeds and more. In some instances placeholder or international images have been used where some nice local horses could be, we use what we can find at the time (hopefully without getting in trouble). We appreciate images supplied if you have any New Zealand based images.
