If you're interested in adopting a Kaimanawa horse, then get in quick, as applications close next month.
In April and May, 70 Kaimanawa wild horses will be mustered out of the Kaimanawa Range as part of the area's ecological management strategy.
The Kaimanawa Heritage Horses (KHH) is urging applications now from people interested in taking a horse or horses from the muster, as well as those interested in sponsoring the placement and upkeep of a wild horse.
"KHH only has applications for twelve horses at this stage. With only four weeks left until applications close on April 1st there's not a lot of time left for interested parties to deliberate. That leaves a lot of horses still in need of caring homes with suitably experienced new owners." KHH Chairperson Kimber Brown said in a statement.
