Like we grew up with the Silver Brumby... many grew up with Spirit.

Half the world values their wild horses.. while the other half seem intent on wiping them out.. Kudos to the organizations both paid and voluntary that continue to fight to keep their wild horses on this planet.

In the early 1970s somebody counted the last of them and got to about twenty. Twenty animals left of a native Scottish breed that had been on those islands for centuries. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Eriskay pony is the last survivor of the old native ponies of the Western Isles. Small, compact, deep chested, usually grey, with a dense waterproof coat and a temperament that is almost unnervingly gentle. They were never a riding animal for show. They were the working engine of the croft, carrying peat home from the moor in creels, seaweed up from the shore to fertilise the machair, and the children to school when the weather was foul.

What made them unusual is how they were kept. They were not stabled and hardly handled as stock. They lived loose about the townships, in among the houses and the people, which is why Eriskay ponies to this day are famously unbothered by human beings. Generations of island children grew up beside them.

They nearly went for the ordinary reason. Crofting mechanised, larger imported horses were crossed in, and by the middle of the twentieth century the pure island type had almost disappeared. It hung on in the most remote corner of the most remote island. A small group of people, including a local priest and a vet, took the surviving handful seriously enough to start a breed society and pull them back. 🤍

There are a few hundred now, spread across Britain and beyond, and the breed is still classed as being at real risk.

That is the whole story of Hebridean life in one animal. Not dramatic. Not famous. Just something that survived because a very small number of people refused to let the last of it go.

Everything your people needed carried, that pony carried. It got down to twenty. 🪻

On this day 90 years ago, the last recorded thylacine died in captivity.
A beautiful, adaptable animal was hunted to extinction by people who had been taught to see them as a pest, encouraged by a government that placed a bounty on their heads.

Sound familiar?

Only they select the middle men now instead of calling for a manhunt.

The circumstances may be different, but the mentality is the same, and the blind obedience by so many who follow a flawed government.
People can be remarkably quick to hate an animal when they are told by those in power that it is "undesirable". Then they will vouch till death that it is justified, despite knowing nothing about it other that what they have been fed.
Blind obedience.

Brumbies may not be native to Australia, but they have lived wild on this continent for generations. They have history here. They have formed wild populations, family structures and a place within landscapes that many Australians now associate with them.

Only 100 years ago, people fervently hated the Thylacine. Now how does everyone feel about them?

Will humans ever learn from history? Or are we destined to repeat it time and time again?

There are some really delicate petals out there... Exploring Australia's' High Country is one of those pages... Parading themselves through the Snowies and the mountain huts.. but YOU MAKE ONE MENTION OF NOT ONE BRUMBY BEING SEEN.. and man oh man! Don't the claws come out and then you're comment is deleted... https://www.facebook.com/groups/1411351964016423

Look for Alicia Crossley "Group Expert" chosen by admin for sharing knowledge and to answer questions.. She lives in Melbourne. She's thankful that horses aren't in the mountains. Her post from her three day trek and the Bogong hut was dated 17th August.. I don't condone nastiness EVER.. but if you're in the mood to 'rattle some chains'. Some people just don't like the truth.

So I rattle chains..... 😇 This page has existed since 2013.
Must be having some effect.. Certain "pages and groups" have flung so much abuse towards me and the page and have tried numerous times to have ABU shut down. Thus far.... STILL HERE!

Sadly... I feared this would be the outcome. So many have gone before.... with the same result. WE HAVE TO KEEP TRYING AND FIGHTING.
