This NHNZ documentary looks at the fierce debate between animal lovers and ecologists over the wild horses of the Kaimanawa Ranges (with striking footage of them running free). At issue: a delicate tussock land ecosystem with rare native plants dating back thousands of years increasingly at risk from horses recognised for their uniqueness — but whose numbers have grown tenfold in 15 years. Reducing the herd size is the favoured option, but only younger horses can be sold and, with older ones going to an abattoir, the plan is opposed by the horse lobby.

On a side note Kevin Smith from Forest and Bird in this documentary grew up around those horses. His father Colin use to cull and capture those horses and the NZ film Wild Horses was loosely based around those exploits.
Kevin would ostensibly be one of the young children in the film.
