At Foal NZ, we establish the foundation of your foal’s behaviour early, giving them the very best opportunity to improve their welfare and performance, and support their development into elite athletes.
We improve racehorse performance through foal education, behavioural research, and our farm programme. The team at Foal NZ provides foals with the very best start, using clear, low-stress training methods aligned with the principles of the International Society for Equitation Science.
Trusted by Leading Farms
Foal NZ works with leading farms, including Windsor Park Stud and Cambridge Stud in NZ with a presence in Argentina, Australia and England, delivering early education that underpins welfare, safety, and performance from the very beginning.

“I have been involved in conducting workshops across Western Europe (Finland to Switzerland), the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia for well over a quarter of a century, and no methods of foal handling I have ever seen come close to Foal NZ’s methodology.
Without doubt, I have never seen a more inspired and intelligent evidence-base. approach to handling foals anywhere in the world. Foal NZ has set a gold standard for the handling of foals that the rest of the horse world should move toward.”
