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.
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
Hi Cheval Noir,
You’d think I’d seen The Man From Snowy River enough times to make sure I had that right! Thanks for the correction, it has been fixed. 🙂
I have lived in Austrailer a long time and seen and crased brumbies a mileon time’s onn my horse and seen the man fron snoey river 1 & 2 about a 100 time’s i love it .
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.

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your comment, it’s always fun to learn more about horses local to each area. 🙂
The Waler was used in the first wold war its name came from the state it came from NSW. Most of them were shot and didn’t return after the war :(. So realy we don’t have “our” horse.
They have tried to selectively breed walers back using the main bloodlines from the horses they would have had then…..the aussie stock horse is similar to the waler though
They must be soooo hot!!!!
