This 144 page book is a celebration of the wild Kaimanawa herd, allowing an unprecedented insight into the secret lives of our nation’s most iconic herd.
INCLUDES:
- 352 Profiles of horses currently roaming wild, which includes a photo and bio, as well as their lineage and age if known (including the majority of horses in zones that will be targeted in the 2024 Muster)
- Information about the zones the horses live in
- Tributes and profiles of famous horses in the wild and in domestication
- Key information about the Kaimanawa Horse Musters
- Facts about the herd, including statistics we've documented in the Wild Kaimanawa Database
- More information about the dynamics of the herd, including the social structure of the bands
During the 2021 and 2022 Kaimanawa Horse Musters, a printed version of the Wild Kaimanawa Database was a valuable resource for DoC, KHH and NZDF, and we’re excited to now offer the 2023 Edition to the public.
