Welcome to the official website of The New Zealand Hanoverian Society (Inc).

The New Zealand Hanoverian Society is a daughter Society of the Verband Hannoveraner Warmblutzüchter, the Hanoverian Breeding Society of Lower Saxony, Germany.

Hanoverians are the most successful sporthorse breed in the world. They have won the overall dressage title of the World Breeding Championship for Sporthorses nine times since the establishment of the championship in 1991/1992, and have won the overall showjumping title six times in the same period. In 1993/1994, a New Zealand bred Hanoverian, Monopoly, by Witzbold, was one of the world-ranked showjumpers that helped the society achieve the rating of first in showjumping.
