Latest Video - Laminitis

The NZ Equine Research Foundation is pleased to announce the release of a new video on the important topic of Laminitis presented by well-known and respected Cambridge Veterinarian Dr Paul Fraser. This is the second video in a planned series of videos intended to provide important information to all participants in the equine industry. The short video is non-technical and should appeal to all with an interest in the horse. NZERF is indebted to the Rodmor Charitable Trust which has generously sponsored this video and the video library.

The video can be watched directly here or is available on the NZERF YouTube site.

NZERF also has a recent publication "Equine Laminitis" which may be viewed or purchased via the NZERF website.

Welcome to the website for the New Zealand Equine Research Foundation

The New Zealand Equine Research Foundation (NZERF) is a charitable trust created to foster education and research in the New Zealand Horse Industry. The NZERF does this by funding and promoting the following activities:

Rodmor Trust Lecture Series

Due to Covid-19 NZERF did not run a Lecture Series in 2020 and will not be running a Rodmor Trust Lecture Series in 2021.

The topic for the 2019 Rodmor Trust Lecture Series was How Can I Fix My Injured Equine Star with guest speakers Professor Wayne McIlwraith and Dr Lacy Kamm. The lectures were presented in 5 venues - Karaka, Hamilton, Awapuni, Addington and Ascot Park - in late August/early September.

Reasons why the NZ Equine Research Foundation (NZERF) should be vigorously supported by the NZ Horse Industry

Are you able to make a contribution?

The NZERF is working hard to increase opportunities in the equine industry for young New Zealanders to provide a healthy and secure future for the industry and for our horses. Although supported by many major organisations in the industry, by international standards we are seriously underfunded. We appeal to organisations and individuals who work with, or obtain their enjoyment from, horses to consider us when making donations or bequests.

All donations and bequests are tax deductible.

If you are interested in making a contribution to help the NZERF, please contact:
