Kaimanawas Are the wild horses Native to New Zealand.
They Usually range from 12.2 - 15hh
They are any colour,
and are extremely gorgeous in my opinion Their are yearly musters that come and gather a few of them up so it doesn't become over populated.
These horses are sold, but the one that don't sell go to slaughter. =:: (
F E A T U R E S
The head is medium to broad forehead with large expressive eyes, in good proportion to the size of the horse. There is a wide variation due to the bloodlines that have formed the breed.
The ears are well set and alert.
Neck short, deep neck with a thick throat area.
The forelegs should be perpendicular to the body. The forearms should be long and well muscled, the cannons shorter in comparison to the forearm. Hair quantity on legs is quite diverse.
The body is to have a deep girth with a well sprung rib cage. Well proportioned with short to medium rather than long body.
Hindquarters well rounded with the tail set neither excessively high or low, but smoothly rounding off rump.
The hooves should be strong walled and of good proportion, tending to be upright. The toes should face straight ahead, neither in or out. Hind hooves are generally smaller and slightly narrower than the front.
Hearing and sight are acute. Highly intelligent, quick adapters, hardy, robust and strong, which have been their survival instincts in the wild. They are sound, sure-footed and tough and live on very little. They are of sound wind and limb with very highly developed sensory organs.
Good temperament is . curious, alert, intelligent and friendly.
I hope that answers your question!
