Hi everyone in 6 Gigabytes,
ReplyDeleteYour wondering about the Kaimanawa horses is a good one. I've been on a Department of Conservation bus trip and seen herds of Kaimanawa horses for myself. We traveled up behind Waiouru (a long way!) until we found small herds of wild horses and spent time watching them. I took some photos. The DoC guide gave us lots of information about their history and what life is like for them now. This trip inspired me to write this blog post http://lynross.wordpress.com/2007/04/27/our-most-exciting-teaching-resource-is/
Comment back and ask if you want to know more.
Hi Lyn thx for your comment.We looked at your blog and you had some good question about the horses. Do you know the answers?

Hi Karla, Katelyn and Peita,
ReplyDeleteYes I know a bit about the horses. The herds there grew rapidly after World War 1. That's when the soldiers in the Waiouru Army Camp released their 'war horses.' If you do some research into WW1 you'll find out that most soldiers went to war on horses. After WW1 the army started using trucks, jeeps and tanks - so they didn't need the horses anymore.
The horses are in small family herds of 5 to 7 horses (not big herds) The herds are protected by the NZ Government and looked after by DoC ... so the number of them increases each year. To keep numbers manageable, some of them are rounded up by helicopter every few years and sold. They're smallish horses but really lovely looking (as you can see in my photos.)
There is a small article about the Kaimanawa horses in the paper online today
