Kaimanawa Initial Handling – Spaces Now Open for Rotation 2! Applications close Monday get in quick!

There are still 171 Kaimanawa horses in urgent need of homes. Make 2025 your year to change a life!

I'm opening up Rotation 2 for foals, yearlings, 2-year-old fillies and c**ts, and mature mares. These incredible horses need kind, committed humans to help them begin their journey into domesticated life.

What You Can Expect
Each horse that comes to me for handling will be worked with on an individual timeline, based on how they adjust to domestication. The minimum stay is 4 weeks, but there’s no maximum – it’s all about what’s right for the horse.

Owners are welcome to be involved as much or as little as they like – we’ll create a plan that suits you and your horse.

Handling Milestones
Before leaving my property, your horse will be able to:

Lead confidently
Tie
Navigate obstacles
Load onto a float
Be wormed
Have their feet picked up and trimmed
Go on an off-property adventure
Live behind fences
Special Introductory Pricing
Since this is my first year offering initial handling, I’m offering a special rate of $1500 per horse. If you’re approved for a $1000 subsidy through Kaimanawa Legacy Foundation total cost is just $500!

Other Costs

Horse purchase: $250
Transport to my property (last year this was around $100)
If you’re taking a c**t, gelding costs are additional.
This is an opportunity to be part of something truly meaningful.

If you are after a chunky xbred gelding to go trekking, pleasure riding or cowboy challenge Hadley is your boy!

Hadley is a (151cm), he is 8yrs old and has had many trekking miles put under his belt, he’s been ridden out in groups and alone over farmland, through forestry etc and is generally a pretty cool boy.

Hadley has lovely flat work schooling and is soft and kind, he understands turn on the forehand, hindquarters, reins back. He has a soft mouth and is easy to stop. More woah than go!

Hadley has jumped over little logs and although this hasn’t been his main focus he is kind and willing to pop over anything in front of him.

He has previously done cowboy challenge obstacles including crossing bridges, tarps and climbing up on things.

Although Hadley is very cool he can get grass affected on dairy grass. This is easily managed by keeping him off lush pasture! Happy to discuss more about this with any one interested.

Will only be sold to a 5* home

With 200 Kaimanawa horses still urgently needing homes from the upcoming muster, and any unhomed horses facing slaughter, I’ve decided to open up more spaces and join the 100 Kaimanawa Horses, 100 Days, 100 Lives Saved project.

I’ll be taking on a delayed taming rotation, which means I’ll be helping to train and rehome an additional 6 horses, starting around June 10th. These horses will initially be stockpiled at Kelly Wilson’s Wild Kaimanawa Sanctuary in Taupō, where they’ll receive hay, feed, and time to adjust in paddocks before coming to my property for their taming period. Once my current client horses progress and free up yard space, I’ll begin working with this next group.

As part of this project, we’re actively looking for more owners who are ready to give a Kaimanawa horse a future. The horses in most urgent need are mature mares and mare + foal combos, but KHH are still accepting applications for horses of all ages.

If adopting isn’t possible for you right now, you can still make a big difference by donating to the 100 Kaimanawa Horses - 100 Days - 100 Lives Saved Givealittle page. Your donation will directly support the stockpiling and transition care for horses waiting for a training space—without this support, up to 30–50 horses from this muster may not be saved. Many owners simply don’t have the facilities or experience to take wild horses directly, and rely on training spots opening up, so these donations are truly life-saving.

Donate here:�https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/100-wild-kaimanawa-horses-100-days-100-lives-saved

Or direct to the KLF bank:

Reference: 100 Lives

Thank you so much for your support—it means the world to these horses.

Pizazz is looking for a fabulous lease home!

Pizazz is a 15.1hh, 12-year-old mare for lease only. She has spent most of her life in a paddock but is well ready to get out and enjoy her life. She is light to aids when turning and stopping and has a super kind nature.

Pizazz has been with me to be brought back into work and has been a delight; she has absolutely no buck, rear, or bolt that we have seen. She is super fun out hacking and enjoys getting out and about.

Her biggest fault is that she can be a bit spooky, which just requires a confident rider to build her confidence.

Ideally, she would best suit a farm home that just wants to hack out and do fun things, ideally within the Waikato region, but may look further afield for the right home.

Rehomed
Meet Tim! The ultimate pleasure and fun horse. Tim is a rising 5yr old gelding who measures at 152cm (measured on concrete) Sire : Rangatira Dam : Koura

Tim began his ridden career as a 3 yr old and has done lots of hacking alone and in company, he has been to the beach, forest and over farmland. Tim is generally a very cool guy who’s happy to have a canter away from his friends or chill while everyone else canters off. No jig jog!!

Tim has also competed at a few shows for good results and has proven he has an awesome temperament and is calm in a busy environment. He has also attended pony club happily.

Tim works in a kind frame walk trot canter and is a more woah than go kinda guy. Despite his young age he is super cruisey. He pops over little jumps showjumping and cross country to about 60cm. Kaimanawa gelding
