Horse havoc leads to shooting
By Jenelle Frewen A group of wild horses from the Kaimanawa herd caused significant damage to the Waiouru Saddle Club property lastTuesday when they broke through both electric and standard fences to get at the Saddle Club's horses. The Saddle Club is situated on Army land adjacent to the training area and to the rear of the Bullot Street residential housing area. The damage to the fences necessitated moving the domestic horses to another paddock but the commotion caused by the wild horses eventually drove four Saddle Club horses to | break out of the enclosed
area and into the housing area. The Department of Conservation was notified on the Tuesday evening when it was discovered that there were stray horses in the
Saddle Club paddocks, and were later called to Wai oum on Wednesday evening when the dangerous situation of horses roaming amongst the housing area Page Two
