Horse Pictures From Australia
Horses were first brought to Australia in the late 18th century during their pioneer days. The introduction of camels into the Australian lifestyle created a decreased demand for horses and many were left to go feral.
These feral horses became what are known as Brumbies, the wild horses of Australia.

Love Equinest and love seeing something about Australia and our horses but thought I’d let you know (if someone else hasn’t already) that our wild horses are called Brumbies not Brambies

Australia has its own breed of horse called a “Waler”, it was almost extinct but for a few which now have been brought back from the brink.
