Two Kaimanawa teaser stallions have been retired from duties as they proved "too smart" in the words of one of their handlers. They weren't keen on being kicked by mares, in fact it put them off the idea altogether and knowing that they had the 'politician role' of stud duties (all talk & no action!) they pretty much lost interest by the end of the season.

We received a request from the stud to rehome them and as daunting as that first appeared, the fact that they're both broken to ride and are very laid back boys made them a slightly easier prospect for gelding and getting out under saddle..

They have been taken to Ewen Equine Management where they were gelded (KWHWT Inc. sponsored) and are generously being cared for free of charge until they're fit enough to go to their new home.Thanks also to Ewen Equine Clinic who performed the gelding. Both boys are recovering well.

If you would like to be considered for re-homing rescued and unwanted Kaimanawa horses, please contact our Welfare Officer.
