From Midlands Friesians to Shongweni show jumpers — your guide to the KZN horse market.
Regional · 2026-02-18 · 6 min read
KwaZulu-Natal is South Africa's third-largest horse market, known for its lush green pastures, strong polo scene, and dedicated Friesian breeding community. Whether you're looking for a competition horse or a pleasure mount, KZN has a lot to offer.
The heart of KZN's Friesian community. Beautiful rolling hills, excellent grazing, and a relaxed equestrian lifestyle. Also home to several warmblood studs.
The competitive hub. Shongweni Equestrian Centre hosts regular show jumping, dressage, and eventing fixtures. Dense concentration of riding schools and livery yards.
Growing equestrian area with more affordable options than Hillcrest. Good access to trails in the surrounding valleys.
Smaller scene but growing. Popular for beach riding and leisure horses.
We do not publish provincial averages, because no verified dataset of South African sale prices exists. Advertised prices in KZN cover the full range, from inexpensive leisure and companion horses through schoolmasters to competition and imported horses at the top end. Livery costs vary widely between rural grazing and full-service yards near the main centres.
