That’s paradise! What a special place, special people - and a special breed! Thank you so much for taking us along. This might be my new favorite episode. Simply amazing! I didn’t know about this breed before. „They are as good as you“
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. 👍❤
Such beautiful and magical lands called New Zealand!! It's one of the reasons I like movies filmed there!! If only I could live there and have a few of these majestic steeds, life wold be complete.
Best episode I’ve watched so far! This was a breed I had never heard of and Tom was wonderful. Getting to listen to him speak about his land and the connection he has to his horses was so inspiring.
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.
Alyssa, liselle, the lady who was riding with you, gave me intresting answers. Because of her i found more information, and i could find tree channels: the wilson sisters, keeping up with the kaimanawa horses, and stallion squad. About 100 videos.👍🥰👍🥰👍 Thank you.
Welcome to NZ! You managed to get here to my country. Our wild horses are amazing and so versatile. I have loved watching your discover the horse videos. So many different horse breeds. Thank you for showcasing our kaimanawas to the world 🌎 🐴
Just stunning! How fun to go bitless too in such a scenery. I’m so happy you’re getting such experiences and are able to share with your viewers. The gentleman had such a quiet demeanor and to me made the best teacher. In this episode you truly look so content in your surroundings; like you found home. Such a memory of a lifetime! 🌻⛄️
I am lucky enough to have ridden a Kaimanawa (about the same size as my Brumby Daisy) while visiting the North Island several years ago. Angel was wonderful to ride, with an incredible turn of speed for such a small pony
I've heard your Brumbies are much like our Mustangs in pure trail talent, but can do anything, really, and do it pretty well as the Mustangs can! Give your Daisy some pets and an apple or so, from a fan of ALL tough little horses the world over!
Thank you Sir, for sharing your beautiful land, Horses and home with the world... Along with your smile! Kaimanawas are an impressive breed, which I enjoyed seeing, for the first time....( Have been stranded in US for so long, had all but forgotten they exist..) Thank you Allyssa! Lisa 🇦🇺🐨👋🐎
Hi Alyson!! You’re living an amazing life with beautiful horses,people, and countries.. it’s a pleasure to watch you enjoying it with your beautiful smile.. You’re hair blowing in the wind looks like that of a beautiful Friesians mane blowing in the wind…😊
Astonishingly beautiful scenery as you rode... This breed was new to me, so a big treat to watch and so impressed by Tom Waara. I don't get to ride every breed but I have made a Watch Every "Riding Every Breed Challenge" Challenge.
What was humbling and real for me was Tommy's attitude. No MEDIA CHIT CHAT or HYPE, what you see is what you got!!!! True blue Kiwiana or Maori honesty. THANK YOU Tommy for allowing us into your life for a brief moment in time.....HEY, YOU KNOW NOW YOU ARE FAMOUS EH!!!!! qUESTION, DO YOU remember MOSSIE GREEN?
Let's share this video everywhere - make it Alyssas most popular so RUclips can pay her enough to come back and film the horses in the wild! - We tried to arrange it for this video but we could not gain access that time.
You not only DiscoverTheHorse but also discover other cultures and people. I knew new zeeland only from the kiwi fruits. And that's a big country for a few of people. And i can see it's still a beautiful wilderness, where everybody, humans and animals, can live free. Very nice nature.👍
Beautiful country (my own) and Tom? a true kiwi bloke. I note his horse is a gaited horse... are many Kaimanawa horses gaited, or is this a cross with the standardbred? Thks for showcasing NZ and it's beautiful land, and the horses are very special.
Amazing video and beautiful horse breed. I do have a slightly odd/interesting suggestion if possible. How about an American Mammoth Jackstock Donkey. I know it's not a horse but it's from the same family and they are surprisingly big
where in the world is this part of earth....i just love the all green .......wondering what the weather is like in the winter time.......i wanted to ride with them......
I was fortunate enough to visit Tom's place and ride Te One a couple of years ago, I'm so glad someone was able to connect you with him as that property is stunning!
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!
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.
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.🥰
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 :)
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?🤔
The name is a Te Reo Maori word, its the name of a mountain range where these horses live. A lot of us NZers have been fortunate enough to ride this breed :)
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'.
@@SoIBoughtAHorse ok, but is that in the upper part? And can you speak also maori? And why a maori sign language?🤔 Of course that you could ride such horse, living there. I knew that land only from the kiwis and did'nt knew it's so beautiful.👍
@@joannesmartens9442 This is filmed in the middle of the North Island. I live in the South Island and I am in the film too. I had to fly there. Most New Zealand people cannot speak Maori, in fact many Maori cannot speak it. It was banned for a long time, they had to speak it in secret. Today we are trying to bring back the language but it is hard. It will be hard to find the movie to watch. But here is the trailer ruclips.net/video/ruV5lYnXBZg/видео.html
That man Tommy is so gentle, soft-spoken and wise. What a lovely person!

Really amazing
Very much the same as Australian brumbies. But they want to kill all of them.reduce to a small number and inbred.
What a beautiful place. Tommy has the best job outside of your job. Thank you for all you do.
Omg I absolutely fell in love with the vistas. What a beautiful place and a beautiful horse.
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.

What a lovely breed! First time hearing about them. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching, Caryn!
I've been to Tommy's and rode Te One, so special ❤
I could listen to him talk forever, what a legend
Beautiful horses, beautiful place. Thanks for taking us along ❤❤

Lovely people and horses too!
as a kiwi i have been waiting for this episode since i fund your channel! great job thank you so much for this awesome content
A wild welsh pony mix? Yes please! New Zealand truly is made of magic and beauty
I am lucky enough to have ridden a Kaimanawa (about the same size as my Brumby Daisy) while visiting the North Island several years ago.

I used to live not far from the Kaimanawa Ranges, but never managed to ride there. Great to see the place again, and the horses ❤
Beautiful place, beautiful people!!¡! Gorgeous horses!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you Sir, for sharing your beautiful land, Horses and home with the world... Along with your smile!
Kaimanawas are an impressive breed, which I enjoyed seeing, for the first time....( Have been stranded in US for so long, had all but forgotten they exist..)

Thx so much for sharing this information with us and for finding this rare breed and how they are bringing it back amazing ❤️🇦🇺❤️
Never heard of the breed, but they're beautiful ❤
Love their heritage 😊

Amazingly beautiful! A time to never forget ❣️
I like to live in that beautiful place and be with the animals.
Beautiful country and horses. Good to hear the story about them.
Really enjoyed watching this bread in the area that come from and the powerful horses absolutely wonderful thank you
What i wouldn't give to be able to go on a ride like that. What gorgeous scenery and lovely horse!!
Beautiful country (my own) and Tom? a true kiwi bloke. I note his horse is a gaited horse... are many Kaimanawa horses gaited, or is this a cross with the standardbred? Thks for showcasing NZ and it's beautiful land, and the horses are very special.
Tennesse Walking Horse cross. Kaimanawas have the usual horse gaits.
Absolutely stunning video!!! Thank you!!!
Awesome video, I have a kaimanawa gelding and he's so cool as a trail horse 😊 very smart and food orientated 😂
Lovely. Interested to hear of the Exmoor Pony heritage
Hi pretty lady. How are you doing today? And how is the weather over there??
Yes there were some imported in the 1800's and let go .
Very fun thank you, Why are the blankets so far down the side of the horse?
So dreamy! What a nice horse.
loveit and country is beautiful
That's such a beautiful place :') It looks like paradise

Tom is fantastic. My first time meeting him. Such a welcoming person. A beautiful place that leaves you a different person when you go.
Very beautiful
Wow! Amazing!
Could you please make a video about the horses in Sardinia, the anglo arabo sardo?

Man, now I want to go riding😂😂😂 but it’s too cold out to do so😅
Are you going to any Canadian horse breeds
Yes! I filmed the Newfoundland Pony early on in the Quest, but the others are on my list as well.
Never even heard of that breed.
Seeing all those VERY loose cinches scared me a bit...
