Wild Kaimanawa horses live in a delicate balance with nature.
To ensure a sustainable ecosystem the wild herd must remain at approximately 300 horses.
An annual muster ensures the herd numbers stay consistent and ensures horses are able to live in harmony with their environment.
In 2021 over 200 horses need to be mustered and moved to new homes.
The muster is conducted by the Department of Conservation with oversight by vets and with horse well-being in mind; giving you the opportunity to be part of the life of one of these unique creatures.
