Kaimanawa Horses are a population of New Zealand free-roaming feral horses descended from domestic horses that were released in the late 1800s and early 1900s in the middle of the North Island around the Kaimanawa Ranges.

Most Kaimanawa horses are between 14hh and 16hh and are hardy and surefooted.

The Kaimanawa wild horses are renowned for a quiet, inquisitive nature and many of them have classic Comet and Exmoor characteristics which are clearly visible today. lt is also said these horses strongly resemble the New Forest ponies, and Welsh breeds, with a Arab stallion being thrown in sometime in the 1960s. They have been scientifically compared to the Zebra, Assuteague ponies and the wild mustangs.
