Wild Heart Brumbies

Wild Heart Brumbies Each day they make me a better person. Sharen

Sharing my journey, learning with a herd of wild-born Snowy Mountain Brumbies ... Horse novice to connection with these incredible sentient beings, my teachers and guides.

These two boys are forging quite the bond. Yaku was matched with Chaska as he arrived on his own, and Yachaq came in with Ayni ... but it seems that Yaku and Yachaq are fast becoming besties.
So far it's been a dry Autumn here and the volcanic soil, especially after two years of drought, has no moisture at all.

This is what living with Brumbies is like ...
Trying to fix a fence and the little gremlins are raiding the fencing barrow. Yaku was styling my hair previously as I was bending over. The Brums love helping fix the car also, and generally being involved in all farm duties.
In general, I find the Brumbies far more curious and exploratory than domestic bred horses. Some of the WHB boys have a more serious nature, namely Baz, Apu, Nuna, and Chaska, but the others can be cheeky.
One interesting note is that they all love being around humans in varying ways. Wether it be curiosity from a distance, or wanting to engage up close, they all in some way gravitate to people in their vicinity. I think there is a very deep soul connection, and contracts, between horses and humans
This validates, to me, that the Brumbies can have enriched lives in a domestic world even though they have lost their birth-home, families, and freedom.

'Let me in ...'
I am on a video call and hear pawing at the verandah door.
Not a chance Yaku.

The most important thing I have found is to simply BE with the horses.
It is easy to get caught up in the human condition of achieving ... must do, have to, want to ... rather than just being.
That is what the horses do. Just be. They never swap the present moment for worries or memories or fears for the future.
Many people have horses and miss this, their greatest teaching, instead getting lost in what they must achieve with a horse. Afterall, it is a cultural belief that a horse must serve a purpose for us, like a sport or hobby or enhance our skills in some way.
The herd have taught me so much more than riding them would have.
They show me how to BE with the only purpose is of Being.

We have had several break-ins recently ...
Case1 Break & Enter & Theft - Baz is suspected of learning how to unlatch the chain on the horse yards gate and let in fellow accomplices Yachaq, Munay, Yaku, and Ayni. Whilst there, they ravaged the hay bale, and pi**ed and pooped in it. There was an uninjured barrow upturned. All horses were caught in the act and looked very confused, as though they didn't know how they had got there. Anticipating a possible Alien abduction defence. All plead not guilty.
Case2 Tresspass & Theft - Yachaq caught stealing Lucerne hay. Whilst he was being called for dinner, he was deep in the feed shed chomping away at the bales. He proceeded to walk out casually through the narrow walkway. His 'I'm a wild horse' defence was thrown out due to his calm demeanour. He plead guilty.
All horses received good behaviour bonds and I've had a bit of fun telling on some naughty horses.
I would love to hear of some animal crimes at your place, please share ...

Mob on the move.
Being the guardian of a herd of wild-born horses is a dream come true for me.
The herd is so much more than an individual horse. To be a part of that, to see and learn from them as a group, is such a gift.
They are not always together, though when they do enjoy looking at them and being amongst their group energy.
In Australia, a herd of Brumbies is often called a mob.
Be kind to horses and let them live with horsey friends.

When you're a young bachelor there's much of interest in the poo pile.

Shenanigans as I walk out my front door this morning.
My garden has been sacrificed for the horses and I think its well worth it.
I wanted to share this as it's a good depiction of two stallions fighting, though they are not serious here. You can see the many moves that they use when sparring, it's not all rearing. Even though they are in a domestic living situation now, I love how the herd are still very much wild at heart and as natural as I can provide for them right now.
Wether they are playing, practicing skills, vying for a higher place in the herd, (or all three here, which is my guess), they are emotionally regulated enough to stop if I ask them to. And they feel safe enough with me to play like this nearby.

Apu and Nuna chewing the end tips off branches.
Sadly we don't have beautiful pasture here atm, but the boys have bellies filled with twice daily bucket feeds, native hay, and I see them browsing weeds, bushes and trees.
We are planning to create a food forest soon where the horses can nibble on the outside growth. Always so much to do.

We are so lucky. The boys not only help us with many outdoor tasks, they also paint beautiful murals on the car which I love. I get the 'warm and fuzzies' when I am out, walking back to the car, and (re)see their mud paintings on the panels. Funny too when we are parked next to highly polished, immaculate cars. My horses, car and self are perpetually in 'paddock condition' 😀
