New Zealand Bloodstock will be conducting a Stallion Parade at Karaka this Friday prior to the 2013 Winter Mixed Bloodstock Sale.

The parade has attracted some of the best stallions in New Zealand with sires from both the North and South Islands represented.  There will be a total of 15 stallions on show, a great opportunity for breeders to compare a range of stallions at the one time.

There will be 8 freshman sires among the 15 stallions on parade to be conducted at 10am, with selling beginning in the Winter Mixed Bloodstock Sale at 12pm.
