NZ Miniature Horse Association
Welcome to the The New Zealand Miniature Horse
Association Inc. Online Studbook
The New Zealand
Miniature Horse Association Inc. (NZMHA) was formed in 1996 by the
amalgamation of the New Zealand Miniature Horse Breeders Association and
the Miniature Horse Association of New Zealand, both of which had been
operating since 1990. NZMHA became affiliated to the Royal Agricultural
Society of New Zealand in 1998 in recognition of it's efforts in
establishing the breed register for Miniature Horses in New Zealand.
NZMHA now has in excess of 534 members spread through out New Zealand
and the World with the number of registered Miniature Horses exceeding
11,043.
The role of NZMHA is to
provide a national structure meeting the diverse needs and interests of
the miniature horse owners throughout New Zealand. NZMHA is a non-profit
member governed organisation. All major decisions are made by the
members through the Annual General Meeting or by way of Special General
Meetings. The day to day management of the Association is delegated to
NZMHA Council which is comprised of a nationally elected executive and
regionally elected delegates. NZMHA has defined seven regions within New
Zealand with the NZMHA Members in each region being represented by
Regional Delegates. Within New Zealand NZMHA has a number of Affiliated
Clubs which provide fellowship and education for Miniature Horse owners
in their areas. All members are encouraged to become involved in these
local clubs.
