Native NZ Ponies: The Kaimanawa's

Today I was thinking how much my filly Chancy is starting to look like a Kaimanawa pony, so I decided to write a post on the special nz ponies.
Kaimanawa's come from the Kaimanawa ranges in New Zealand.
These ponies are very good tempered and when handled correctly they make perfect all-rounder ponies and children's ponies. They are quiet and curious. Due to running on the ranges through winter and summer they are very hardy and because the steep country they are surefooted.

Quite a few of these Kaimanawa's have made it into the spotlight.

Ever heard of the Wilson sister's? If not you should look them up!!
These girls are AMAZING and also happen to have the most popular Kaimanawa stud in NZ.
Their stud is http://www.showtymhorses.co.nz/pages/Kaimanawas.html

These girls rescue and adopt Kaimanawa's and train them to be superstars!

One of the Wilson's sisters Kaimanawa's named Watch Me Move that was mustered from the ranges as a yearling, went on to win the 2012 Pony of the Year title at 2012 Horse Of The Year show.



If you want to check out some awesome sites about Kaimanawa's, there is Keeping Up With the Kaimanawa's on Facebook. They will keep you well updated with the musters and etc.

Here are some photo's of the Kaimanawa's. I DO NOT OWN THESE IMAGES.
