๐ NZWB 2026 Classification Tour
๐ Tour Special Award โ Leading Stallion of the Tour
The Leading Stallion of the Tour Award recognises the stallion within the New Zealand Warmblood Stud Book system whose three highest placed progeny across the entire tour achieve the greatest combined score.
This award celebrates consistency, influence, and the ability of a sire to repeatedly produce quality young stock.
For 2026, the competition was exceptionally close.
๐ Leading Stallion of the Tour โ 2026
Deveron Numbers Game
(FS Numero Uno / Golden Rock / Dornik B)
Breeder: N & P Hoffmann-Madsen
Pony Stallion โ NZWB Stud Book
Total of Top Three Progeny: 244.75
His highest scoring progeny were:
โข Waimakariri Perfect Timing โ 82.5
โข LB Dunkirkโs Game Player โ 81.25
โข Moรซt at Chateau Creek โ 81 (Also on 81: HV Trockenโs Bubbly Affair)
With depth and consistency across the pony divisions, Deveron Numbers Game secured the Leading Stallion title by the narrowest of margins.
Remarkably, this marks the second consecutive year he has won this prestigious award โ a true testament to his impact as a sire.
๐ Worthy of Special Mention
The leaderboard was incredibly tight this year:
โข Cornetโs Air โ 244.25
โข Eurosport Chacco Di Villagana Z โ 242.75
โข Quintiago WD (newly licensed stallion) โ 242.5
The small margins between these totals highlight the depth and competitiveness of the NZWB breeding population.
Unfortunately for New Zealand breeders, Deveron Numbers Game has now been gelded to start his ridden career, with only very limited frozen semen available.
However, his influence is clearly already well established โ and there is little doubt we will continue to feel his impact for many years to come in both pony breeding and Warmblood Derivative breeding in New Zealand.
Congratulations to all connections on a truly significant and well-earned achievement. ๐
