Byzance Arabians and Performance Horses is a small stud nestled on 70 hectares farm of green pasture in the Pongakawa valley, beautiful region of Bay of Plenty near Te Puke, New Zealand. We graze also dairy heifers.

We breed selectively to a limited number of quality mares for foals that exhibit good conformation, type, temperament and trainability. Young stock available for inspection and sale will suit the most discerning of purchasers.

We aim to breed a horse with size, good bone and stamina, pretty but still practical, suitable for show, pleasure, endurance and performance, a horse which can compete and win in a wide range of disciplines.

We will be focusing in 2 breeding programmes: 

In one hand we have carefully selected a small group of purebred and partbred dilute Arabian mares for their quality, type and bloodlines to breed tall palomino and buckskin partbred Arabs for the show ring and endurance. Crossing these mares with an American Saddlebred will produce the famous National Show Horse, a stunning horse with the best of both breeds.

A horse with size, substance and plenty of stamina.

In the other hand we have chosen well conformed saddle horses of mainly warmblood breeding with some TB & stationbred blood to produce the new performance horse of the century with the added bonus of palomino and buckskin colours. Following the Dutch Warmblood breeding programme and now adopted in the USA, we have included the American Saddlebred breed in both Arabian and Warmblood breeding as we think American Saddlebreds will contribute to produce the

Ultimate Sporthorse for elegance and versatility.

Future purchases of tall Arabians, palomino and buckskin partbred Arabs, Warmbloods  and American Saddlebreds will constitute the foundation of Byzance stud breeding strategy.
