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.
The name of this type of horse is called a 'Brumby'.

The brumby is the Australian wild horse. They are not true wild horses but ferals descended from settlers' horses (and those that came later) that escaped or were freed. There is no set type in the breed; their characteristics vary depending on where they live and which breeds they were descended from. They are all, however, tough, intelligent and spirited. Many outstanding Australian Stock Horse bloodlines contain a large proportion of brumby blood.

"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.
