Three sisters with three wild horse breeds from three countries ... only at Equidays 2016.

Equidays is proud to present a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, in conjunction with our ambassadors the Wilson Sisters.

The famous trio are well-known for their work with wild horses, not only here in New Zealand but in the USA and Australia. And now they're bringing them to Equidays.

This is the only chance the public will have to see and meet the Vicki, Kelly and Amanda Wilson's Kaimanawa, Brumby and Mustang in one place at one time.

Equidays is thrilled to be able to be the platform on which the public can take hold of this extraordinary opportunity.

"We're excited to be able to work with the Wilson Sisters to present their three wild horse breeds at Equidays," says Ammie Hardie, Equidays Event Manager.

"It's a massive drawcard for our event and aligns perfectly with our core value to educate.

It's an incredible opportunity to learn about wild horses from different situations and environments - from the process these horses go through from muster, to connection with a wild animal to understanding and valuing the uniqueness of each partnership."

Wild horses are incredible teachers, says Kelly.

"Over the past four years we've trained over 40 wild horses, across three countries, and have learnt so much from them. These wild horses have been our greatest teachers and we are excited to share them with everyone at Equidays," she says.

"We'll be showcasing my Kaimanawa Argo at Equidays, as well as our three stallions from the latest Kaimanawa Horse Muster as part of the Stallion Challenges," says Vicki.

"We're also excited to officially introduce Amanda's Mustang, Bragg, to the New Zealand public and she has hopes of competing him in the Horse Derby. Our Brumbies, who will have had just over 100 days training since their wild days, will be doing demonstrations to acclimatise them to crowds before they return to Australia to compete in the Brumby Challenge," she says.

"It's a phenomenal opportunity to educate and empower people about the plight of wild horses worldwide, as well as entertaining the public."

Vicki, Kelly and Amanda will be giving demonstrations and clinics during Equidays and will also perform in the Saturday Nightshow - Horseplay & Hijinks.
