Kaimanawa Krazy Follow the progress of the newly mustered kaimanawa horses that arrive at Tracey Thompson's place So welcome to all the new likes on my page. XX

The Kaimanawa Krazy FaceBook page was originally set up to keep the owners of the newly mustered Kaimanawa ponies up to date on their handling. I never expected so many people to be interested in what I get up to everyday with these special ponies. The horses you see are all straight from muster. And most will be looking for new homes once their handling is finished. Hope you enjoy seeing our daily happenings as much as we enjoy working with these beautiful ponies.

Apparently my page has violated Facebook rules and they are threatening to close it down in 48 hours. Have no idea what rules are violated or why anyone would want to complain. So I apologise if this page disappears. It’s beyond me🤷‍♀️
But the good news is all this last musters horses have arrived home to their owners in the South Island safely.
I can now relax and go hang out with my own horses.

Three kaimanawa started the long journey south today, crossing on the ferry this afternoon. I always feel so sad putting them on the float to leave, knowing they have a hell of a journey ahead of them before they get home

We said goodbye to Joey and Witchy today. We wish them all the very best in their new home. Two very cool little kaimanawa ponies.
Sadly the ferry crossing today was too rough for Epic, April and wee Ruru to start their journey south.

Finally Hawkes bay got some much needed rain! I discovered it’s not a good idea to rush around trying to get lawn mowed with newly mustered kaimanawa close by! Also discovered Suma, Witchy and Alina most likely won’t be Grand Prix jumpers!😀
Had a few fences to fix and horses in different paddocks! Which caused massive filly fights to break up!
These wee ladies have to be the nastiest madams to each other we have ever had!
Horses are now getting daily float rides in preparation for some leaving in Monday on a float.

This mare is Mylonite!! The timid mare from last muster who had so much trouble accepting people in her life. Jen Ravens has been working away quietly with her and look at this!! Jen had done an amazing job. Mylonite is looking for a new home. She would excel at liberty. Enjoys being ridden has recently been to a small club level dressage day and did amazing. Is a little shy around people but is coming out of her skin now. So would need to choose her person. Also on this note, the amazing Jen Ravens is also looking for a new place to live. Somewhere where she can bring her 3 horses, and her talents handling training horses are amazing.

Just a few photos for the owners of these beautiful kaimanawa ponies to see. A day of quiet for these guys, after a very stressful 48 hours. They ate, slept, ate some more, drank, slept. Says it all. Tomorrow will be much of the same. All babies in our yards this year. And they need time to process. I spent the day just sitting with them. Feeling their grief, their loss. This will take time to change. They have lost everything they know. I take this onboard. I feel this too.

The kaimanawa horses turned up at my yards late last night, as the wind howled overhead. Then this morning we woke to a frost. Thankfully today is a stunner, so these beauties can rest and settle into their new surroundings.
All these horses are destined for the South Island

Tanesha & I have space for limited numbers to handle for this muster. Please contact us if you are thinking about taking on a kaimanawa

Kaimanawa krazy has been very silent in recent months.
We have a large herd of horses on farm at present to look after.
So sadly we are unable to take on more from the muster, and that breaks my heart. But we currently have horses that need homes. Details in pinned post.
We will handle a small number for other people from the muster. But only horses under 2. Space is limited.
Anyone interested please message.

We are still here. Surviving the wet weather. It’s been unbelievable. All horses have been turned out, the mud is preventing us from working anything. Currently we are dealing with a lot of hoof abcess’s with all the wet. The sun did shine today, very welcome

Knight having a play in the water this morning! Kai also lay down in it too!

Baby cuddles this morning. Knight still not keen on the older foals getting to close, but really nice to see him coming up for a scratch. Kaiti attackes the other foals! Still sticking with her herd ( patron knight and angel)

Major Toms horsemanship class. So lovely to watch! Major was super sensitive to people near him on the ground for soo long. So have loved seeing him progress ❤️

Sargent peppers horsemanship class. Young boy isn’t 100%present! Typical baby though. More interested in his belly!

Mangu
Mangu

How sweet is this? Young Mangu enjoying scratch’s from Jen. Please send healing vibes to Mangu, whatever is causing an infection in his body right now isn’t responding to medication. He is not improving and may be on his way to the equine hospital tomorrow as we’ve run out of options.

Gretal is doing really well!! As this wee video taken today shows! The foals are feeling happy!

A wee video taken yesterday of Mylonite taking her first leading lesson. She was chilled until she spotted me taking the video. Then she lets out her warning snort, and has to think about the next step. But so happy with how she is coming along

Home they go!
Home they go!

So after lunch we did this!! Excuse the language!!☺️ Mangu and Vesper came home!!

Mangu had his very first leading lesson this morning

First thing this morning the three mare and foals went out into the paddock, it was as easy as this.......

Ever wondered how we get our wild Kaimanawa ponies out of the yards behind electric fences? This is what we do. Deer fence high electric fence standards. Electric tape set up around a natural barrier with the gate open to their yard. Their safe place. They get a shock and if it’s too much for them they just run back to the yard. I’m standing on the other side incase they run through it. They don’t take long to work this out. This is very early to be doing this, but the three mare and foal combos need to be out on grass, and they are all very chilled with us around them. Soo today they get let out under supervision for a short time.

Little Zena
Little Zena

Jen “catching” little Zena today. This is about as much as we are doing with her at present. “Catch” her and lead to her hardfeed. She is expanding and is very definitely infoal. So keeping her relaxed is super important.

First float loading for Ivy
First float loading for Ivy

This is how fast she went in the float. Very little hesitation, Ivy is trying so hard. Her owner is coming to meet her for the first time tomorrow. She is hard not to like!❤️

Ember picking up her feet. She has turned into a really cool mare Jenny-Lee.

Mistress picking up her feet.

Ember first time in this float

Tanesha left today with three of her horses and my horse float😄 so put the horses on her double float today and took a couple of videos for ember and mistresses owners. Ebony missed getting videos but she is doing everything nicely anyway. Including picking up her hind feet now Andrea. Videos to follow, but first one up is mistress loading first onto float.

This mornings truck ride for 6 recently mustered kaimanawa ponies! Ash is usually in a hurry to get on the truck, but not so much this morning!! Some stupid lady didnt put the rope far enough over Bluffs back but he just got on with it anyway! Buster is Mr Cruisey!, Today was Tori's second time on the truck. Couldnt be happier with him! Lenka wasnt so keen on me being in the truck before her! And Little Matau's third time on the truck and she just cruises into last spot like a pro!
