Maverick Sporthorses of Kerikeri, in conjunction with Sophie Burling Showjumpers, prides themselves in producing high quality, performance-bred showjumping horses. The yard is run by young rider, Sophie Burling, who is currently competing to Grand Prix and Young Rider level in New Zealand. A high level of importance is placed on producing horses properly for the higher echelons of the sport. As well as being a fully operational competition yard, Maverick also runs a small scale breeding operation, breeding a select few foals each year with the use of frozen semen over quality mares. 

We are located on the coast of the Bay of Islands surrounded by what has to be some of the country's most beautiful farmland.
