More Kaimanawa horses are likely to be culled this year as the Department of Conservation aims to reduce the herd size.
Previously annual musters have kept the herd down to about 500 to keep the horse population healthy and prevent damage to threatened plant species, the Dominion Post reported.
However, the Kaimanawa Wild Horse Advisory Group has now recommended the herd number be reduced to 300 over the next two years , and between 150 and 180 horses were likely to be taken in this year's muster.
