On Sunday 25 November we went on a trip out onto the Kaimanawa Ranges to see the horses in the wild. What an amazing day!
We saw LOTS of horses, and they all looked really healthy. The musters are obviously doing the trick with keeping the numbers down, and it's clearly benefiting the herd.
I had no idea how big the Waiouru Training Area was - it's 63,000 HECTARES. Unreal. It's also far more beautiful than I was expecting - when you drive down the Desert Rd it seems like just endless scrub and desert, but the scenery was actually quite spectacular.

| No skinny horses or dull coats to be seen - aren't they looking great! |
