"Brumby" is the term for wild horses in Australia. The brumbies in Australia were not introduced in their current form. They are descendants of horses that were released, or that escaped, into Australian bushlands when the early settlers arrived. Brumbies are the result of various horse breeds being introduced into Australia over time, and inter-breeding to make very hardy wild hirses capable of surviving in Australia's harsh conditions, whether the outback, the mountains or the coastal regions. The very first horses came to Australia on the First Fleet, in 1788. Brumbies come from the stock of horses all over the world, including South Africa, British draught horses, thoroughbreds and Arabians.
Horses were introduced to Australia by European settlers for transportation, agriculture, and exploration purposes. They were also used for recreational activities such as racing and hunting. Over time, horses became an important part of Australian culture and economy.
The first horses to arrive in Australia were brought by the First Fleet in 1788, which included horses brought by Captain Arthur Phillip, the fleet's commander and the first Governor of New South Wales. These horses were essential for transportation, agriculture, and exploration in the new colony. Additionally, horses were later introduced to Australia by other settlers and explorers, contributing to the development of the country's equestrian culture.
It was not introduced, for the Plains Indians stole the horses from the spanish.
Australia had no horses until it was colonized by the British 1788. The aborigines appear to have been overwhelmed by colonization before they had any real opportunity to develop a horse culture as did the Native Americans. Many Aborigines employed in the ranching industry were/are excellent horsemen according to brief research.
Originally (10000 years ago) horses came from the steppes of Asia.However, the horses that arrived in New South Wales on the First Fleet were purchased at Cape Town.
