Your friend of a lifetime is waiting
Kaimanawa heritage horses are looking for homes
The 2021 Kaimanawa muster in April will see 200 wild horses in need of a new home, so don’t miss out on this unique opportunity.
Kaimanawa horses are a rare breed, exclusively roaming New Zealand’s Kaimanawa Ranges with no human contact.
Only 300 normally exist in the wild and ownership is an incredible privilege.

WHY A KAIMANAWA HORSE
“He’s cheeky. He’s snuggly. He’s a piggy. He’s not like any other horse I’ve met, which is definitely a theme amongst Kai owners.”

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.
