00:00 From wild horse to show horse, these Brumbies are demonstrating what they can do.
00:07 Whatever you put them to, they'll nail it.
00:10 So we've had horses go on to be camp drafters, pony club ponies, trail riding horses, pretty much anything.
00:17 From navigating obstacles to archery and the ultimate display of the horse-human bond, working at liberty.
00:25 You know, we're seeing it all over Australia that Brumbies are needing homes and they're needing homes with people that can give them that training to make domestic life suitable for them.
00:35 And you can clearly tell that they enjoy it too.
00:38 These horses have come from as far as central Queensland and the New South Wales mid-north coast.
00:44 But most were trapped in Tulara State Forest east of Gympie, where a booming Brumby population is causing dangers to road traffic.
00:52 Without catching and rehoming, the alternatives are shooting.
00:57 It's wonderful to see horses that I've brought in from the wild.
01:01 A bond that's strong and steady.
01:04 When they're broken in, when they're started, they'll do anything for you.
01:08 I think it would be cool if people in the equestrian community became a little bit more open to Brumbies as a horse.
01:15 They're awesome little horses. I will never buy another horse. I'll just get Brumbies.
01:20 A second chance for Australia's wild horses.
01:24 Yeah!
