New bloodstock consultancy

New Zealand-based Dylan Johnson is establishing his own bloodstock consultancy.

Currently the Business Development Manager for Westbury Stud in New Zealand, Johnson played a key role in the development of the farm’s stallion ranks including Tarzino and Telperion.

Johnson will continue with Westbury and operate his consultancy in tandem.

“The move to operating my own business allows me the opportunity to form a wider scope, focusing on different aspects of the industry,” Johnson said in a statement.

“I have a long-held passion for the sport of racing and I am excited at the prospect of being able to work with a different group of clients who have a large emphasis on their racing and trade stock”

Johnson will remain with  Westbury Stud as their dedicated sales agent, focusing on stallion nominations throughout the breeding season and representing the Stud at the annual yearling sales.

“I am incredibly grateful to Russell, Gerry and the team at Westbury Stud for providing me with the platform to launch this new venture,” Johnson said.

“I have tremendous belief in the stallion roster at Westbury Stud and the opportunity to remain involved in what promises to be an exciting period for the farm is a real privilege.”
