- It's estimated 400,000 brumbies are roaming wild across Australia.
Controlling feral populations through culls to protect the environment is highly controversial.
But other solutions are being tried, which involve trapping and re-homing.
Brisbane reporter Meg Bolton explains.

Maybe NSW Parks can learn something from this
Yes, Brumbies can be and are a major problem in so many areas and need to be controlled dramatically, and this is the most animal friendly way that I have heard of. Keep up the great work people.
Comforting to see young people stepping up to the challenge.

Wonderful to see the dedicated youth. Really great gentleing process.

Wow ! Just WOW! I wish the States had this with the Mustangs !!! We have something similar but without the camp
I agree. Please note that in some parts of Australia they do shoot horses (indiscriminately) and it is not always to the head so many die painful deaths. That is heart breaking too.:(
I've adopted a Mustang from the BLM before, back in '95, and frankly, the camp part was the only part I could have foregone and am glad I didn't have to take part in. No camp = more time to play with the new horse!
BTW, he was the easiest horse I've ever trained. He was a five year old, and didn't have any problems with paying attention for long periods of time, and he was a stallion ( I think that they're only adopting out geldings, now) but the nicest, gentlest stallion you could ever meet. I had only had him a year when I taught my then 6 year old daughter to ride and she did so on him. I only got him gelded when my sister got a mare. They are well worth the time you put into them, and I'm glad he was a part of my life. From what I've seen, here, the Brumbies are every bit as good and with the same rational minds our Mustangs have.
Excellent program, intelligent horses.
God bless your program ❤
As for aerial shooting to cull it is grossly inhumane. As a ballistic expert explained it should not take up to 7 bullets to kill an animal. It can only be happening as the wrong ammunition is being used. Horses laying on the ground alive and suffering or dead mares with foals left to die. A measure of a country and its people they say is in the way it treats its animals. And I am ashamed to be Australian in the way these Brumbies meet their end. And it is also being watched by the world in disgust.
Good on these incredible people for giving these majestic horses a second chance at life by training and rehoming.
Almost like wildlife causeways and highway improvements need to happen in Australia.
But wild horses and camels and deer really need to be managed
Fantastic story ❤
Awesome 💯
LOVE
👍
If ya cant rehome them ,what happens to them?
We cannot continue to slaughter these beautiful animals. They truly are part of our history. My grandmother was a pioneer midwife, riding out day or night to deliver babies and stay with the families till all was settled. She could not have done that without her trusty horse. Humans do more damage than horses. Thoughtless hikers, entitled ski enthusiasts, and ignorant tourists do more damage to our environment than any horses. How that man can casually talk about the inhumane shooting of brumbies, often leaving them wounded to die slowly, starving foals dying with them, shows me he has little respect for animals at all. We have to
find a better way. And its thousands of horses shot, not hundreds. I am not a proud Australian Our animal abuse is appalling.
Why doesn't Australia copy the same system that New Zealand does to deal with it's horse issue. By the way, the too many humans is more of an issue on the state of Australian wildlife and the development for suburbia, pushing out Koalas. There is not enough evidential fact that Horses are so called ruining the alpines, what a man crap
