Kaipara Kaimanawas

Kaipara Kaimanawas Wild horse handling facility in North Kaipara. My original intent was to break them in & sell them on as kids' ponies.

This is to replace the original Kaipara Kaimanawas page which was hacked & then deleted by Facebook. :-(

This was/is my place to document the progress of wild Kaimanawa horses I handle from musters for myself & clients. I'm adding back a lot of the old photos & videos of horses I've handled here & this is where I'll continue to share my own Kaimanawas & others that pass through...

I've been inv

olved with Kaimanawa horses since late 1996 & bought my first 3 x stallions at the DoC auctions in 1997. They ranged in height from 13hh to 14.1hh; all too small for me! Little did I know what a MASSIVE impact Kaimanawa horses would have on my life! I've had horses since I was 8 years old but Kaimanawa horses are next level magical beings that not only fill your heart, they envelop your soul. There is No escaping the inevitable Kaimanawa infatuation once bitten by the 'Kaimanawa bug'! It's now 2024 & I still have two of those three stallions I bought in 1997 & have added several more along the way. The permanent residents here are from 1997, 2012 & 2018 musters. Thankfully, as environmental conditions have significantly improved for the wild herd, so has the horses' condition. Nowadays, the're significantly larger on average, than they used to be & in 2018, I got Maru; 15hh & big enough for me to ride!

LADIES... TAKE ONE HOME! πŸ˜…

They maybe diamonds in the rough, but they're FAR LESS DRAMA than MAFS with a FAR BETTER outcome! πŸ’ŽπŸ’–

One person's loss is 2 x charities potential gain! πŸ˜‰πŸ˜

My Feed2U competition winner can't make the date & has asked that I auction off her prize to raise funds for 2 x charities that she nominated (but are VERY dear to me also!)

These passes are being auctioned to support Northland Rescue Helicopter and Rodney Animal Rescue so do us a favour & please share this EVERYWHERE!!!

How many ways can we say, "We deliver EVERYWHERE between Warkworth & Cape Reinga"? πŸ€”πŸ€¨

That's not 'everywhere along main highways', it's EVERYWHERE in Northland!

If your address ends in 'NTL', we deliver to YOU! 🫡

We're in YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD twice a week!

If there is road access to where you live, we deliver to you. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜…

What's the cost of delivery to your area?
$15.00 no matter where you live (from Warkworth, north).

Wix & I travel over 1,000kms a week. It's really NO TROUBLE AT ALL to "come all this way, just for you". THAT is what we do! That's the whole premise of the business; to bring the very best of NZ made feeds, direct to YOUR feed shed. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜

The big guns are coming to town!

Welcome to Paparoa Riding Group!

I tried to get this off the ground many years ago & while there was plenty of enthusiasm for it, it never actually eventuated as no one was keen to organize anything themselves.

There's many more horsey folk in the area now so I'm giving this another go to see if we can get it to fly...

The aim is inclusion of all without being affiliated with any official bodies (e.g. Pony Club) & without a committee & loads of rules. Ride bitless, ride ba****ck or don't ride at all, the ONLY RULES are that you wear a helmet when you're mounted on public grounds, you're under control & you promote exemplary horsemanship, putting the horse first at all times.

This is an opportunity for EVERYONE to get actively involved & organise get togethers & things you'd like to do or try.

Maybe you've always wanted to try polocrosse? Or have a go at jousting? Perhaps Working Equitation or Cowboy Challenge floats your boat? Or maybe, like me, you have a newly started horse that could do with some mileage in quiet company?

Beach rides, farm rides
Education days
Games days...

There's a million possibilities for you to make this group something really special & exactly what YOU want out of your equestrian social activities. 😁
