Tim Price's Wesko joins his stable mates on the High Performance Squad
“COVID brought an extra challenge for New Zealand eventers chasing spots on the ESNZ High Performance squads, however there is a swathe of talent in the newly-announced lists” says New Zealand Eventing on the announcement of their 2021 eventing squads
The New Zealand High Performance and High Performance Futures squads leading into the postponed Tokyo Olympic Games have been announced with a trio of very familiar faces and horses on the High Performance Squad.

The 15-strong High Performance Futures Squad is a mixture of UK and New Zealand based athletes with James Avery and Mr Sneezy, Jesse Campbell with Diachello, Jonelle with both McClaren and Grappa Nera, 2020 Puhinui CCI4*-L winner Monica Oakley with Artist and 2020 Horse of the Year CCI4*-S winners, Bundy Philpott and Tresca NZPH as new additions to the Squad
