Title: Wild Horses of the Last Land – Learning about ourselves and nature from the Kaimanawa wild horses
Author: LINKLATER WAYNE

In the mid-1990s Wayne Linklater landed a job researching
the bands of wild horses that lived in New Zealand’s largest
military training grounds near Waiouru. For the next four
years he observed foals born, the love between stallions,
mares and their offspring, and also violence, loyalty, betrayal
and courage, all played out against an astounding landscape.



Linklater started out believing in the objectivity of
conservation science and that free-roaming horses were
a harmful, invasive species. But those four years taught
him differently.



Clear-eyed and backed by deep science, this moving book
is about the fascinating history and lives of wild horses,
about the bonds between horses and humans, and about
becoming a different sort of conservationist. This is nature
writing of a very high order.
