Raise Money - Save Lives
WIN a wild adventure valued at $8500 while helping to save the lives of Kaimanawa Horses
We’re on a mission to save every wild Kaimanawa horse from the upcoming muster — and we need your help.
We’re calling on families, pony clubs, school groups, sports teams, cooking groups, businesses, and passionate individuals to become part of something truly special: BECOME A SPONSOR — CHANGE A LIFE
For just $1,000, you or your group can sponsor one of these incredible wild horses.
You’ll be helping cover:
• Gelding costs (usually $600–$800 per colt)
• Ulcer treatment and veterinary care
• Travel and accommodation support for volunteer handlers
• Transport subsidies, especially for South Island homes (where transport can cost $1,000–$1,700 per horse)
Your sponsored horse can be named with your chosen prefix (e.g., your family name or business name) during their journey through the 100-day programme. Each horse will have a personalised Facebook photo album tracking their transformation — a touching way to honour someone’s memory, give a meaningful birthday gift, or celebrate your club or team’s commitment to saving lives.
CALLING ALL FUNDRAISERS — AMAZING PRIZE UP FOR GRABS!
Every $1,000 you help raise gets your name in the draw to win a free place at Kelly Wilson’s sold-out 21-Day Wild Kaimanawa Workshop in Taupō — valued at $8,500!
This unforgettable experience includes:
• Mentorship from world-renowned wild horse trainers
• The opportunity to observe and help tame over 20 wild Kaimanawa horses
• Full tuition, accommodation, and meals included
• A chance to apply to adopt and take home the horse you tame (pending KHH approval)
Open to youth and adults aged 12-years and over. The more you raise, the more entries you get — and the more horses you help save.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
• Contact events@kaimanawalegacyfoundation.org to request your Sponsorship Info Pack (available as a PDF)
• Want to hit the streets? We’ll send you 25 printed brochures to approach local businesses, friends, and clubs
• Even if you can’t raise the full $1,000 yourself, every dollar counts — partial contributions can be combined into group sponsorships
This campaign runs until 5pm, April 14th, and we’re aiming to raise $100,000+ in sponsorship to help give every horse a future. So grab your friends, get your family involved, rally your community — and together, let’s give 279 wild horses the second chance they deserve.
Sponsor a horse. Save a life. Win a wild adventure.
