You Know He Is A Kaimanawa Horse But Can You Prove It?
Registration Guidelines

1.Proof of Purchase, receipts or some sort of documentation with proof of origin.
2.Four standard 5 x 7 colour photos, suitable for identification purposes. These are to consist of:

(b)One clear photo of the right side (which will include all feet, ears and tail)
(c)One rear view photo (which will include the top of the rump to the bottom of the hooves)
(d)One front view photo, clearly showing any facial markings (pull the forelock to one side if possible)
The horse is not to be obscured in any way, ie; part of the horse covered by bushes, railings or shadows, etc, or simply cut off.
3.These photos must be originals and not cut down, laser copied or photocopied onto a sheet.
Branding Your Kaimanawa Horse
The Kaimanawa Wild Horse Welfare Trust Inc. has an official brand available for registered horses. The brand involves freeze branding on the near shoulder using a brand (which we supply for a small fee to cover postage).
A Brand number is issued which is placed above the year of birth.
A Veterinarian is required to fill out the identification details.
It is NOT compulsory to brand your horse although we encourage it as a positive means of identification. Please indicate on the Application for Registration form if you wish to brand your horse. The Breed Registrar will make arrangements to send you the branding iron and branding details ie; brand number, etc.
Change Of Ownership
Apply to the Breed Registrar for a Transfer Of Registration form; have this form completed in full by both the vendor and the purchaser and forward the form, together with the Certificate of Registration and fee of $10.00.
The Certificate will be amended to show the new owner of the horse and the Certificate will then be forwarded to the new owner.
Please ensure the that the Certificate of registration is passed on with the horse each time it changes hands. Remember - the horse cannot be officially transferred to a new owner without the signature of the current, registered owner of the horse.
CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF THE HORSE.

Registering Your Kaimanawa Horse - the Advantages
Many owners register their Kaimanawa horse(s), which can be of benefit to both the owner and the horse.
With registration, there is a permanent record of your horse's age, origin and physical description.
Only registered horses can compete in Kaimanawa classes at A & P Shows and the Kaimanawa National Horse Show.
When you register your Kaimanawa horse with the Kaimanawa Wild Horse Welfare Trust Inc. (KWHWT), you are helping to keep a record of the Kaimanawa horses that are in captivity. The register also records names of Kaimanawa horses that are bred in captivity.
First cross Kaimanawa horses can also be registered.
The KWHWT has a brand and we can supply a branding iron if you wish to brand your horse. However, branding is NOT a compulsory requirement to registering.
Many new owners of Kaimanawa horses are disappointed when they buy an unregistered Kaimanawa horse and cannot find the previous owners to prove its origin. The KWHWT are unable to register your horse if there is no proof that it is a Kaimanawa horse.
Please think of your horse's future and register him while you have proof of his origin. It only takes a few changes of ownership and the proof can be lost, if you have not done so.
The Kaimanawa Wild Horse Welfare Trust recognises the Breed registers of KWHPS Inc. & KHBS Inc. also.

Q. How do I prove to you that my horse is a Kaimanawa?
A. 1) By providing a receipt from the official DoC auctions or Kaimanawa Wild Horse Preservation Society Inc. auctions or the name, address and phone number of previous owner or selling agent for verification.
2) By providing the horse's official auction number.
Q. Do I have to brand my horse in order to register it?
A. No. Although this is encouraged as an easy means of identification. If you don't wish to brand, you may be required to produce the Certificate of Registration at shows to verify the horse's registration and proof of origin.
Q. Can I register a part-bred Kaimanawa horse?
A. Yes. So long as the Kaimanawa sire or dam is currently registered or is being registered at the same time as progeny.
Q. Can I still show my horse if he is not registered?
A. Yes. But only at shows or in classes that are open to unregistered horses.
