Highview Announce Unreserved Deplenishing Sale On-Farm

Longstanding vendors Highview who have been selling yearlings since 1986, have announced the staging of an Unreserved Deplenishing Sale at its Hamilton property on Sunday 15 March 2026. 

NZB will conduct the Sale on-farm, which will offer approximately 50 lots consisting of yearlings, two-year-olds, racehorses, broodmares, mares with a foal at foot and more. 

“There’s a changing of the guard at Highview, with my son Kurtis now taking a more prominent leadership role,” commented Highview’s Brent Gillovic. 

“We’ve accumulated a lot of horses so this is a genuine reduction process to trim the operation back to around 30 to 40 mares before I hand over the reins. 

“We have held a couple of these deplenishing sales previously back in the early 2000s which were quite successful.  

“While it goes against the trend in today’s day and age, for us it is just easier to manage this many horses in one go, here onsite, and sell them all in one hit. 

“We’ve got a number of sires represented including some nice young horses by the likes of Wrote, Santos, Divine Prophet, Sword of State, Xtravagant, Hello Youmzain, Sweynesse, Vadamos and more. 

“There will be something for everyone. At the end of the day, our main goal is to find these horses good homes, we’re not expecting the world for them. 

“It will be a nice Sunday afternoon, with plenty of opportunity for everyone.” 

The Highview Unreserved Deplenishing Sale will see around 50 thoroughbreds for sale, conducted from 1pm at Highview Stud, 1544 Kakaramea Road, Hamilton, with gates open at 10am. 

The catalogue will be available to view online at www.nzb.co.nz by late February, while printed catalogues will be available on the day. 

While online bidding is unavailable, all prospective buyers are welcome to attend. Alternatively NZB and BAFNZ agents will be able to inspect and bid on your behalf should you be unable to attend.
