We’re very excited to see what our lovely mare Waitangi Visco (Capatino GNZ x Internet) will produce for us 🤍

She had her mid scan earlier this week and we’re thrilled to confirm she is safely in foal to our stallion Quineus GNZ (Quantum x Genius).

An exciting combination with plenty of quality and performance in the pedigree now the countdown begins ✨🐎

💡 We’d love your feedback!

At Thompson Performance Horses, we’re always looking at ways to improve and invest back into our facilities.

We’re currently considering installing arena lighting and would love to hear from our local equestrian community would this be something you’d utilise?
