Vicki, Kelly and Amanda Wilson, generally known as The Wilson Sisters, are three New Zealanders from Northland.[1]

They have competed in the highest level of jumping for many years.[2] They produced the popular Keeping up with the Kaimanawas show about their activities,[3][4] which was seen by over 500,000 viewers.[5]
