Highview was first represented at the National Yearling Sales in 1986. Since then another 35 crops of yearlings have been reared and sold annually at the Sales.
Over the years Highview has built up an enviable reputation of producing outstanding yearlings that have gone on and performed with distinction on the race-tracks of the world.
The farm won the coveted NZ Breeder of the Year Award in 1991, a year that included breeding the winners of the Melbourne Cup, VRC Oaks, Brisbane Cup, Australian and Caulfield Cups.
In 2018, we achieved a new record price for a yearling sold by the stud, $525,000 for the Snitzel x Make Me Dream colt, that was knocked down to Good Harvest Bloodstock, operated by Hong Kong trainer Benno Yung.
The farm also includes a training facility where horses are regularly available for private purchase.
Karaka 2020
Karaka 2020 was a memorable sale for Highview with the first New Zealand-born crop of resident sire Wrote making their sale debut. The young sire's representatives did not disapoint averaging $61,667 (More than 12x his $5,000 fee). We finished Book 2 as the leading vendors by Aggregate and Wrote just missed out on the leading first season sire (3 or more sold) title.
