Australian Heritage Horse - The Brumby

[KarboNeTikz]

I think he'd be living the 'lucky life' his breed is most suited to if he were in the wild.

They aren't to be tamed. They are wild horses. Born and bred in the wild, where they should stay.

Although if your brumby was bred domestically, so be it.

you have to cull them or they will die out them selves because there will be not enough food. this will lead them into cattle graising lands and that would kill the cattle industry of australia i think that we should be trapping, taiming and or killing brumbies to keep the numbers down because i dont see why autralian farming family have to loose their cattle numbers just so a horses can have a feed

@caleb1808 there should not be killin....there's gilding, taming, and trapping them...but not killing....the killin is un-nessacary!

@GiddyUpGalz

Haha. Ponies are great. Went to an inter club day on sunday which was lots of fun. Maddey and Pip both did really well :)

Hows Macca? Did he do his flying changes for you?

[GiddyUpGalz]

@mslondonbound thats good (:

he's very good. we did two figure eights with the correct lead changes nearly exactly in the centre of the ring. he was also very collected, and round. god bless him (:

[mslondonbound]

Thankyou for that.

You have a very valid point. But in comparison, not a great deal of Brumbies are being bred. Those that do breed them should (and are) only breeding to continue to pass on a Brumbies best traits - colour, conformation and size. Presenting wonderful Brumby Thoroughbred crosses is a great way of showing the wider community how good these horses can be given the right opportunity. If they were being managed properly in the first place their wild population wouldn't be an issue.

[QuestEquineWelfare]

Great clip, well done. However, the various interest groups who are working towards a better deal for Brumbies would receive far more support from members of the wider community who have an interest in equine welfare if they would shut down their breeding programs, geld their stallions, and just STOP BREEDING MORE OF THEM.

[mslondonbound]

I agree that they're harming the environment, but shooting is inhumane and not the best solution. They shouldn't suffer from our mistake.

[smiftie]

We're doing more harm to nature by not shooting them~
