    Thank you so much, Alyssa, for including us in your mission. I've learned about horse breeds I never heard of because of your videos, and I love learning about all the places you travel to. You are instrumental in satisfying the horse-craziness in me, and I thank you for that, too. I wish you many more happy adventures with many more noble, beautiful, and fun horses. 👍❤

    Yay! You made it to NZ! I was privileged to be at that muster and bought 3 mares from it. We also had a mare from a much earlier muster, a very much loved family member. I saw this horse being ridden, had a stockwhip and pistol cracked off his back, in October 2014. The muster was in May. Tommy has a great reputation here in NZ. Well done! They are the smartest horses I know, keeping one step ahead of their thinking is a trick. But when they accept you, they will give their absolute all.

  • @juliaforsyth8332
    @juliaforsyth8332 Год назад +2

    They aren't a breed that was developed, well maybe on Maori land. A lot originally were escaped horses, and abandoned horses in the 1800's and more recently.Their main range was over Defence land in Waiouru where the main Army camp is and troopers horses were let go too. There were restrictions imposed on numbers because of an endangered plant species, so there is an annual roundup. Sadly a lot go to slaughter if no-one buys them. Strict eligibility as to experience and facilities to get them because they are wild horses .Stallions used to be a bloody nuisance for the Waiouru Pony Club because they would break fences to get to and take off with mares. They have been used as target practise by the Army in the past too.
    They are incredibly smart and with a helluva natural jump and plenty take top honours in the ring.
    The crack down on numbers has meant healthier horses and taller ones.
    There is a Kaimanawa Breeders Society now that does a lot to encourage re-homing and sadly rescue.

    A wonderful story! @10:35, it looks like Tommy's horse has a different gait - it reminded me of those Peruvian horses a little bit. Did you find out anything about the gaits that Kaimanawa horses can have? Thanks!

    • @lisellesilver5950
      @lisellesilver5950 Год назад +1

      Hi Kim, there was only one Kaimanawa on the ride, the grey boy. Tom was riding his partbred Tennessee Walking Horse mare so she was showing some gait. Kai's do not have any additional gaits but it is a lovely comfortable trot to ride. The chestnut is a Quarter Horse. All of the horses were amazingly surefooted thanks to the terrain the live on.

    • @andrewmandywilsontatham49
      @andrewmandywilsontatham49 Год назад +1

      My wee Kai mare who was 12.2, had what we called her "power walk". Not a specific gait, but just a great little stepper who would outpace a 16hh horse at a walk. Maori people LOVE a good walker!

    In witch of the two islands you was riding those horses? I know it's an island in south-east from australia. And what is the diference between the two? You showed us beautiful picturesques landscapes, where those horses can be free. Because they were crossed between diferent domestic breeds, they are so calm and sweet. But the climb in the mud looks a bit dangerous.🥰

    • @SoIBoughtAHorse
      @SoIBoughtAHorse Год назад

      This is in the central North Island, I won't say where for his privacy but its near-ish Waiouru where the horses live in the wild if you want to google it :)

    • @juliaforsyth8332
      @juliaforsyth8332 Год назад +2

      The climb in the mud is just usual stuff when you use horses on farming land. Horses go into 4WD mode and slide down. Give them their head but keep a little contact and you're away! They have generally good natures but some never adapt. Wild ones are for people who really know what they are doing.

    Your question if we alrready have riden such kaimanawa will have only a few answers, because: who can know this horse, and who heard already from this breed. It's like you have a factory making breeds. Has the name something to see with the crocodile species caiman?🤔

    • @lisellesilver5950

      Hi Joannes, the name Kaimanawa comes from the location in New Zealand the horses live wild and free in. The word loosely translates to 'Food' (Kai) and 'Breath' (Manawa) - so there explains the name of another film made about this breed called 'The Wind Eaters'.
