About Equestrian Sports New Zealand

Equestrian Sports New Zealand (ESNZ) is the national body that exists for the equestrian community to participate in organised, safe, and inspiring competitive and recreational equestrian sport experiences. Our vision is ‘To enrich the lives of humans and horses through equestrian pursuits’. ESNZ delivers competitions and administration in conjunction with its four discipline bodies (Eventing, Jumping and Show Hunter, Dressage, Endurance and Competitive Trail Riding) as well as Para Equestrian. The organisation’s core values include integrity, excellence, inclusion and wellbeing of our people and horses. The welfare and the well-being of both horse and human are foundational to the way we operate, and we are committed to fair play and a focus on enjoyment for all. As a sports organisation, our members – riders, officials, coaches, organising committees, volunteers, funders, sponsors, breeders, owners and grooms are a focus for us as we work with our Disciplines. We provide pathways and opportunities for combinations to compete and win on the world stage through inspiring performances at World Championships and Olympic Games. We recognise there are also a significant number of other entities involved in the equestrian industry and we collaborate to find ways to provide further benefits to a much larger whanau. We are committed to ensuring we are inclusive in the way we develop equestrian-based opportunities moving forward. We recognise the importance of our tamariki and rangitahi in helping shape Equestrian sports for the future, and we also acknowledge our obligations under Te Tiriti O Waitangi.
