Asperand is a digital portrait of a wild Kaimanawa mare—an individual whose story, like so many others from the ranges, is both beautiful and fleeting.

An 8-year-old mare, Asperand was mustered in 2025 from the remote and rugged Upper 14 Zone. She was first documented in 2018 as a mature mare and named as part of the punctuation theme tied to her band stallion, Exclamation. In early 2022, she was sighted with her first known foal, Apostrophe, and a year later with a second foal, Interrobang. After that, she was not seen again until this year’s muster, when she was rehomed.

Created as part of Brush Strokes for Kaimanawa Horses, this piece honours the individual stories of the wild horses of the Kaimanawa Ranges—each one unique, each one worth remembering.

With thanks to Kelly Wilson for the generous use of her reference photograph in the creation of this piece.
