Brumbies – wild horses - epitomize the spirit of freedom that runs through the veins of every Australian. Their bloodlines are extraordinary, descending from horses that arrived with the first European settlers during the gold rush. Despite their majesty – and heritage - they are officially regarded as pests. Numbering close to a million, they spread weeds, degrade water sources and threaten the survival of smaller, endangered native creatures. Revered and reviled in equal measure, periodic calls for slaughter always create a public outcry. In this evocative and intimate series we witness their agility and strength; the bonds established within herds and the extreme challenges they face in harsh outback and mountain terrains. It’s a beautiful exploration of their natural history and social life, made all the more poignant by the emotive, and complex issues currently casting a shadow over their fate.
