Most people don't give a shit Australia is not like it use to be .the people in numbers can stop this culling.but there's to many do gooders that don't care .the only ferrels are the politicians I hate them .

Why doesn’t the NSW Government establish a Wild Brumby reserve outside the National Park to help preserve these wonderful horses?

Because it is extremely expensive to buy private land and turn it into a reserve, trap and move the horses and manage numbers in the reserve.

Beautiful film, thank you for posting. The Australian brumbies are beautiful. They are an Aussie icon and have served this country well.

I have a Kosciusko Brumby, they are magnificent horses, great doers and they bond with humans like no other. Remy that was just beautiful.

thank you Remy for such a wonderful film. I know what you mean about the debate, it is an internal conflict for me. I understand the implications for our parks but I can't help but love the beauty of them and especially the moment of watchfulness when they see you from a distance. . It was wonderful to see so many of the brums that we see on our trips out there. I love the fact that you have shared some of the behaviors, makes more sense now as to what we have seen when photographing them.

Beautiful footage of the iconic Kozzi brumbies. I always enjoy seeing them on my many trips hiking in the high country.

Hello, I would like to see the Brumbies, where do you hike? Where am I most likely to see them?

Horses in captivity seem to be the norm, even among horse lovers. Allowing natural herds to flourish independently is important so we can continue to learn about horse behaviour and appreciate them without the severe limitations "owning" them brings. I was struck for example about the young stallions forming bonds of brotherhood..in contrast to the many lonely stallions kept in isolation by horse breeders.

What a gorgeous film. I’ve always loved Brumbies and want them to be able to live there unharmed. Sadly this is far from what happens sometimes 😢

You are right, there are much less brumbies than the government wants you to believe. I have attached a small video of what’s happening right now. If you click on the image it will show the summary of what we s happening and why. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eaNnt6lvddffkZs.htmlsi=Yf4DN84UrwQwA2lm

I have spent much time up there just this last year, and I have personally seen hundreds. Not always, as the park is vast but when you see one there is often many more. Encounters aren't always as pleasant as yours seem to have been. We can argue that they are wild but they will need generations more to become truly wild from their domestication. As many comments have said, this land is not made for them and their hard hooves, and they are having a significant ecological impact. One thing I can say about this video though Remy is that I thoroughly appreciate your efforts and your skills. There is no argument, these are beautiful creatures, and this environment is one where they have adapted reasonably well. They do not truly belong where they are but where else can they possibly go...

They are so precious and have so much history! They must be protected

There is some really beautiful footage here and great information too. A grey mare who appears a few times is heavily in foal; to see her with foal at foot would have been amazing. Great video, thanks for it.

Hi! There are a few Brumby foundations around Kosciuszko National Park that try to capture, retrain and rehome the Brumbies as a means of promoting their good nature and saving them from being culled. I imagine some of them do go on to do cattle work!

MYTH: There is overwhelming scientific evidence that brumbies are causing severe damage. FACT: The scientists and academics on the Kosciuszko National Park Scientific Advisory Panel and the former Independent Technical Reference group state that there is a lack of independent and peer reviewed research on horse impacts and there are still significant knowledge gaps of horse impacts on the park. MYTH: Brumbies are causing the destruction of endangered species like Broad-toothed Rats, Northern Corroboree Frogs & Alpine She-oak Skinks. FACT: Broad Toothed Rat populations were in decline long before horses were considered over abundant & that area of Mt Kosciuszko has been horse free for 70 years! FACT: The Northern Corroboree Frog area has been heavily grazed by horses, cattle and sheep where they co-existed for well over 150 years and the frog remained plentiful during the grazing era. It was only when grazing leases actually ceased that the frog populations started to decline. Amphibian chytrid fungus causing the disease chytridiomycosis is killing them - most likely bought in to the park on human boots or Tyres. FACT: Alpine She-oak skinks only inhabit ‘horse free’ areas above 1500m elevation. The Alpine She-oak Skink is known from eight broad locations in alpine grasslands, alpine heathland and alpine grassy heathland above 1500 m in the Australian Alps.

feral horses need to be managed as all other feral invasive species are. No romanticizing them. And I say that as someone who owns a brumby and has retrained/rehomed many over the years.

The drone made them gallop

It's a pity that you focus on introduced species. Apart from the horses, the only aquatic species you mention are brown and rainbow trout which, along with the horses, threaten native fish like the Stocky Galaxias and Alpine Spiny Crays.

. @kyle-le7em So ignorant of modern science Kyle. Micheal is 100% correct - and YOU need to stop being an entitled human hypocrite! YOU also need to do some REAL research - David Bermans 2023 research concluded that horse impact is very minor % of the collective damage of humans, pigs, deer and horses, you might also discover that large herbivores such as horses and burros, along with Apex predators are now being reintroduced to restore the ecosystems they were once removed from. Catch up - the world is evolving!

Both brown and rainbow trout aren`t native to Australia either.

Brumies belong to where they are, they are heritage, culture, icon and history to Australia. They are Aussie icon, helping to regain nature after natural disaster and protecting other animal species and humans, without them we have not identity and biologically is impossible to reproduce to thousands. Most important they help to rehabilitate children and adults with physical or intellectual difficulties. They need and have the right to live, we need them as part of our lifes.

It’s so wrong to demonize these wonderful highly evolved presences, to over magnify their effects and cast them in a negative way whilst ignoring all that is positive about their being here and conducive to a harmonious and enhanced life community. How would people like to be so treated, singled out for denigrating and mercilessly slaughtered?!

Leave them alone

Let's help these horses, their ancestors carried us through the Gallipoli war. They should be protected as our national heritage, not the emu or kangaroo❤

@harry.4.2.0 OMG what BULLSHIT you are spouting! Deer & Pigs out-number them at 1000 & 100:1 respectively! foxes, cats and rabbits are even more abundant. There are less than 3000 brumbies left in the 690,000 ha park now (so 10 horses per 5680 acres) and THAT number has been LEGISLATED as sustainable and non-damaging to the park. Yet they get blamed for everything that pigs, deer and humans do- Hell they were even being blamed for being 'cannibalistic' and dangerous lol. The LIES being spread about them are beyond ridiculous and YOU would have to be a massive numbnut to believe that crap. If you believe the bizarre, BIOLOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE numbers NPWS are claiming via the Cairns methodology, which is: a) widely KNOWN to be incredibly inaccurate; b) has been applied to brumbies with NONE of the baseline requirements in place; AND, c) which would require every mare of any age to have had 7 foals a year for 5 years to achieve its estimate - you will believe anything. Actually, you EITHER have to believe that NPWS are LYING about their numbers so they can justify killing every last brumby, making this magnificent and unique heritage breed EXTINCT (despite the legislation allowing for & protecting 3000 in the park) & then say "oops we were 'misled' with the count", OR You believe their numbers are correct & there will be 11,000 to 20,000 brutally murdered horses rotting in the park and its waterways over the next 4 years. THAT would be worse than any damage these last remaining horses could do. Which one is it then Harry????

As much as I love them, they are beautiful...but they do NOT belong. The damage they do to the natural environment is absolutely horrendous. Gloryfing them like this does not help and to the guy that said there don't appear to be many...you haven't been there have you?

No the damage HUMANS do in the park is absolutely horrendous!!!! We can ALL see in this video there is extremely low density. There are only about 3000 in there now in 690,000 ha. That is LEGISLATED as a sustainable number that does not damage the park. Those landscapes and waterways are in perfect condition. We can SEE that! YOU have not been there, THAT is obvious. Pigs and Deer have damaged waterways as have humans - ESPECIALLY the humans that shoot these horses in their hundreds and leave them rotting all over the park, INCLUDING in waterways, feeding dogs and pigs causing their numbers then explode. THEN humans bring in 1080 baiting programs to 'manage' that problem they've created and poison huge amounts of wildlife in the process. Educate yourself instead of repeating ridiculous & disproven propaganda by extremists & liars who have financial interests in spreading that tripe you are re-spouting.

The Brumbys would actually HELP to fertilise the soil and help with regrowth after the devastating wildfires of 2020. Other introduced species are creating havoc with the environment - however - government spruiking of 1,000's of Brumbies is SO INCORRECT and no matter...NO ANIMAL should be slaughtered/murdered by bullets from so called trained marksmen from helicopters or planes. NEEDLESS SENSELESS MURDER. Peace..let the brumbies live.
