Maverick Sporthorses is the home to Sophie Burling Showjumpers, traveling a team of showjumping horses nationwide, competing in age series and grand prix classes. All of our horses carry the 'MSH' suffix, which we look forward to becoming letters synonymous with quality.
We take great pride in producing high quality, performance-bred showjumping horses. The yard is run by Sophie Burling, who competes to Grand Prix in New Zealand. A high level of importance is placed on producing horses slowly and properly for the higher echelons of the sport. As well as the competition stable, Maverick also operates a boutique breeding operation, breeding a limited number of performance foals each year.
We are located on the north east coast of the Bay of Islands, surrounded by some of the country's most beautiful coastal farmland.
