The Brumby is a wild Australian horse, or feral horse. They are descendants of horses that were released, or that escaped, into Australian bushlands when the early settlers arrived.
There are several possibilities for how the name 'Brumby' came about. The most likely is that it was thought to have originated from the aboriginal word 'baroombie' or 'baroomby' meaning wild. This word came from the Aborigines of what is now southwest Queensland, the people of the Balonne, Nebine, Nogoa, Warrego and Bulloo River regions. However, there was also a Sergeant James Brumby who left some of his livestock behind when he left New South Wales for new property in Tasmania.
Brumbies are found throughout Australia, from the harsh outback, to the coastal regions (and Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island), to the Alpine country of southern NSW and northern Victoria.
Brumbies come from the stock of horses all over the world, including South Africa, British draught horses, thoroughbreds and Arabians. In the high country, horses descended from the Timor Pony are prevalent, and it was one of these which featured in Banjo Paterson's famous poem The Man From Snowy River.
