Thoroughbred Breeders New South Wales Ltd (TBNSW) operates  to promote, develop, support and co-ordinate the thoroughbred breeding industry in New South Wales. The TBNSW is the peak body representing breeders in NSW on the Racing NSW’s Racing Industry Consultation Group (RICG).

It is the representative body for breeders and fosters a unified approach in promoting the industry and NSW-bred horses both locally and internationally, in conjunction with the federal body, Thoroughbred Breeders Australia (TBA), and its marketing arm, Aushorse.
