Save a Wild Horse from the 2024 Kaimanawa Horse Muster

With a second Muster set for June and only 88 of 230 homed in April, Kaimanawa Legacy Foundation are looking for donations to provide potential owners with subsidies to help with the costs of saving excess horses.

These include:

Initial Handling Subsidies, where $1000 will be paid to a KLF approved trainer to help cover costs of initial handling or attending a wild horse workshop to be mentored through the process of taming their Kaimanawa.

Vet Subsidy, where KLF may support an owner with vet costs under extraordinary circumstances

For many, these costs can be difficult to budget for, especially right now when the cost of living is so high. While the KLF subsidies won't cover all of the costs associated with saving a Kaimanawa, they will allow quality KHH/KLF approved homes the opportunity to save a horse from the muster, when they might not otherwise be able to afford to this year.

The KLF Approved Trainers will be available to provide ongoing support to owners, to ensure the subsidized Kaimanawa horses continue to have a successful life in domestication.

NOTE: Any donations made from 3rd May will be dedicated to horses rehomed from the June Muster. The first $20,700 was allocated to the April Muster.
