Brumby Horse Breed - Free of pedigree the Brumby runs wild

The Brumby breed of horse is what is known as the wild or feral horses of Australia. The breed originated around 1851 when once domesticated horse were abandoned or escaped their owners. This breed is known to be temperamental and can be any colour. They have a short back and neck with a heavy head and strong legs. They have a strong sense for survival and can endure extreme climates.

Unfortunately, the Brumby breed, like the American Mustang, has caused quite a controversy over the horse's rights to roam free. On one side, people believe the Brumby breed is an Australian icon and should be protected. On the other side people think of them as a pest and think they should be eliminated.

Thankfully, there are many organisations that are helping to protect and provide suitable places for the Brumby horses to roam and be free. One such organisation is Save the Brumbies Inc.; they run adoption programs to rehome rescued Brumbies which are RSPCA approved.
