About Us

 de Kabat Bloodstock is a New Zealand based company specialising in racehorse breeding. 

The focus of the business is on racetrack performance, through superior bloodlines. Our belief is that owners want to have a horse they can enjoy for a long time, so we aim to produce sound, tough, competitive racehorses. 

There are three main sections to the business: breeding, sales, and analysis

de Kabat Bloodstock currently own a couple of broodmares. The goal of the company is own top quality mares with the progeny for auction sale. The number of mares will be expanded slowly and only as the opportunity arises to get quality performance and pedigreed mares. 



The sales section of the business involves selling the stock from our broodmares as well as buying and selling on behalf of other people. The details are outlined on our sales page

The breeding and racing industries generate a multitude of statistics and de Kabat Bloodstock utilises these figures to assist with mating plans for broodmare owners. This draws on Renee’s background as a mathematician and puts the relevant figures into practical terms for broodmares owners. See our pedigree analysis page for details.

Brennan is a civil engineer, currently employed by Transfield Services as Contract Manager in charge of a multi-million dollar budget.
