  • To think that these iconic brumbies are being eradicated is such a sad thing . Look at what they can be . Hats off to vba and Lisa for this ❤❤❤
  • She has such a lovely, refined head for a wild horse, and so chill!
  • Have I met a brumby? Yes! I have met two brumbies! I have met Daisy and her friend Cooma at Lisa’s house, and I don’t think that I have ever said ‘I love that horse’ about any horses EVER until meeting those two. There is something very different about Brumbies - they are just so sociable and engaging. If there was such a thing as ‘companion breeds’ in horses like there is with dogs, brumbies would be the companion breed! They are just joyful. I crouched down in front of both of them to tie a shoelace last time I was there - Daisy leaned over the fence and licked my bald head all over like a dog! I’m really not a horse person, I’ve always found the body language hard to read… but not with those two. I knew it was just affection. It was lovely. I was happy to savour that moment - a beautiful gesture of affection. Love those two. Just wonderful. Thank you Lisa ❤

    What a sweet mare with such a gentle expression!

    Tall, sleek horses have their place, but in everyday life the little ones get it done! 🐴❤️🙏💞🐎
  • @fuzznickers
    They are so beautiful and deserve to be preserved.
  • Man from Snowy River is a great movie, and I, too, dreamed of riding a Brumby! Thank you for taking us with you!

    I like the lady and her horses ! Beautiful ❤️🐎
  • Oh my gosh I loved this lady! First of all, I have always been interested in brumbys after reading the Silver Brumby books as a kid. I loved them so much. Secondly, this gorgeous little girl reminds me so much of the New Forest pony (ive had 4, and live on the edge of the forest) - was she similar to ride? The way she was described sounds so much like the forest bred new forest ponies. ALSO treeless and hoof boots?! Also me! Those barefoot saddles are amazing and I’d love to hear your take if that’s the first time you have tried one. I have been using them for about 15 years and have several barefoot saddles. I believe those boots were scoots? Just what a fantastic set up, and I love the sound of the challenge to train them. What a lovely idea to focus on training and groundwork to set these lovely ponies up for life.

    Beautiful video. My teenage daughter has a brumby also from VBA that went through the Australian Brumby Challange as well. Amazing horses, wish they could continue to exist in the wild.
  • @imjustabee
    I remember watching an animated show as a kid called Silver Brumby, I haven't thought about these horses in so many years! Thanks for making a video on them, they're so beautiful
  • @mk5076
    Wow, what a beautiful location and what a sweet horse. Beautiful coloring!
  • I have 2 Kosciuszko brumbies and I 100% agree that they are the most versatile little horses and amazing to train. It's such a special privilege to have them connect with us after being born and bred wild. I'm still in awe whenever I ride /am around my 2 special brumbies . It is beyond sad what is happening to them in the Snowy Mountains of Vic and NSW where they have lived and adapted for over 200 years. I live in Sth Aust too 😊
  • @UnawareError
    I got teary-eyed watching this, as I as a child probably read Thowra the silver stallion a million times as a child

    I have never met a Brumby horse, Alyssa. It appears to be such a gentle-natured horse. Thank you for sharing. 🐎💓
