The Kaimanawa horses are a wild horse population found in the Kaimanawa Range of New Zealand. They are believed to be descendants of horses brought to the country by early European settlers in the 19th century. These horses have adapted to the rugged terrain and harsh conditions of their environment, forming a unique and resilient breed. Kaimanawa horses are typically small to medium-sized, with a sturdy build and a variety of coat colors. They live in herds and exhibit social behaviors similar to domestic horses. Conservation efforts are in place to manage their population and ensure their survival in the wild.
