Where did this all go left when I filled out the survey I just wanted equality in the fillies and mares and in the trotters in the futurities and a set plan for age racing so there is a goal to breeding and racing 2-3 & 4yld horses I have a few horse that are either NZ bred out of NZ mares or by NZ stallions and every time I register in a different state or breed to a NZ stallion it cost more. Putting up fees was the last thing in my head "WOW" just what I need as a Breeder Owner and Trainer more costs " Ive found a good horse now it will cost $20,000 instead of $15,000 Yeh its in NZ" " Ive found good broodmare in foal with a colt at foot But their in NZ" people I know would rather not have a horse if they had to settle for inferior one because of cost not everyone who buys from NZ is a millionaire. Look at all the good NZ horses we have seen brought and raced in Australia buy Australians don't drive people away from buying the best product available whether it be an Aussie or NZ horse how many NZ bred broodmares are out there in Australia ask yourself why. I don't want to see organizations and races propped up at the expense of Owners & Breeders the state bodies get enough now from me for a hobby.
