Kaimanawa Horses in New Zealand
Here's my Safari Beano in horse country, New Zealand. I was there to get training in Natural
Horsemanship.
The horse on the left is the Kaimanawa stallion, Zorro. next to him is his mare, a New Zealand
thoroughbred named Ice, carrying Zorro's forst foal. On the ATV is Bella.
Kaimanawa horses are a wild breed descended from Dartmoor and Exmoor ponies let loose in the
Kaimanawa region, with the odd Arabian and Thoroughbred added in over the years. They are great
horses, just beginning to be developed as a distinct breed-- the vast majority of them still roam wild
in the Kaimanawa reserve. Kaimanawa means "eat the wind," and anyone who's been to New
Zealand knows just how apt that name is likely to be.
Needless to say, my Beano has been fantastic!
Thanks for making such wonderful luggage. Class of its own, like the Kaimanawa
thanks again. love my bags! they are hands down the absolute best luggage I have ever used.
have yet to see a fellow traveler with one (besides the friends of mine who have supplied
themselves on my recommendation) but I bet I will feel inclined to greet someone simply because
they too have a Redoxx!
This time was Beano and Chica, and I will probably use the same for Mongolia this summer.
Cheers!
