Most horses are simply known as horses. Wild horses are known as brumbies.
No one specifically put them there. When people move to Australia they brought horses with them. Over the years some have escaped and bred. These are the horses that are called wild or feral.
The Brumby is a type of horse that developed in Australia after domesticated horses escaped or were turned lose. They are not an actual breed, but a type of feral horse. The first horses were imported to Australia in 1788 and thereafter. Since that time horses have reverted to their feral behaviors once lose and begun to breed and form the herds of Brumbies that run feral in Australia.
