	kaimanawa Horses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The wild horse management plan published by the Department of Conservation suggests that 50% of foals die in their first year of life and that there is a significant rate of abortion and/or mortality soon after birth (Department of Conservation 1995).
		The rate of foal survival among the Kaimanawa herd is lower than that of other wild horse herds, but it is not clear why this is the case (Franklin, 1995).
		It is, however, entirely consistent with the published data (Balcomb et al., 1983; Hornshaw et at, 1986; Smith et at, 1977; Smith & Grosch, 1976; Sullivan et at, 1979; Twigg et al., 1988) that the low rate of foal survival could be attributable to the application of 1080 within their range.

		These horses are a mixture of Exmoor and Welsh pony bloodlines imported in the mid 19th Century to provide sensible sure-footed and sturdy station mounts.
		They became highly valued as carriage horses and were exported to Australia and South Africa under the breed name ‘Comet.’ During the 1940s thoroughbred bloodlines were introduced and there have of course been escapees from local cattle stations which have joined the herd.

	Who Built The Kaimanawa Wall?
		B. Brailsford, of Christchurch, has been the chief investigator of the Kaimanawa wall, aided by American D.H. Childress, and others.
		The stones that make up the wall are 4-ton blocks of ignimbrite, a soft volcanic rock that could have been easily dressed with stone tools.
		But Brailsford and Childress are even more iconoclastic: They suggest links to a pre-Polynesian culture; a culture that left similar megalithic structures elsewhere in the Pacific and along the west coast of South America.

		The Kaimanawa herd, descended from military horses released during the 1860s and deliberately supplemented with Exmoor ponies and Welsh stallions in 1877, is to be reduced to 500 of the healthiest horses, who will be confined to an area less than half the size of their present range.
		Only 200 of the horses survived as of 1981, when they were protected by cabinet order.
		The last wild horse herd left in New Zealand, the Kaimanawas have no natural predators, but data gathered during adoption round-ups in recent years showed that though more than 80% of the mares are pregnant at any given time, only one foal in eight survives to become a yearling.
