Nks Equestrian Starting, training and schooling horses for all disciplines

07/04/2025

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.

Or direct to the KLF bank:

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

Strawberry is looking for his new family to love and enjoy him, he has a fabulous willing attitude and is always trying to please, 147cm (measured with a stick on concrete)

Strawberry began his ridden career as a 3yr old with lots of bush mileage and hacking alone and in company. He’s done mustering and stock work too! He is very cool out hacking happily taking the lead or following along behind he doesn’t jig jog and has a forward confident walk

Strawberry has been kindly schooled on the flat and has a nice walk trot and canter established as well as side pass and rein back, he has competed in dressage and horsemanship classes with good results.

He has also had a range of jumping experience and has proven to be bold and brave. He happily navigates a large variety of jumps in showjumping and cross country and has been training upto 1metre with ability for more of this was something someone wanted to pursue.

He’s also done cowboy challenge and pony club activities willingly.

Strawberry would be a fabulous second pony and I’d love to see him with a kind rider with soft hands. He will either suit a small adult or Child

New home found
Cheryl is on the lookout for her new home.
•9yr old
•15.2-3hh
•warmblood by Lazarus GNZ

Cheryl is a lovely pretty mare with straight correct movement and beautiful conformation. She has competed to 1.20 before being turned out, she schools kindly on the flat and has been good to hack out. However she is a mareish mare to handle and ride therefore will need a competent home. All quirks will be discussed in full,
Currently out of work!
