  • About ABA About ABA Formed in 2008 by a number of wild horse rescue organisations throughout Australia, the Australian Brumby Alliance (ABA) is concerned with the promotion, protection and humane management of Australian Wild Brumby horses.
  • About Brumbies About Brumbies Historically, the Brumby was valued for its endurance, strength, reliability and all round agility, and many of the old bloodlines evolved into what we now know as the Waler or the Australian Stock horse.
  • Meet Our Members Meet Our Members While ABA does not dictate how individual wild horse member groups operate, membership is contingent upon the group having consistent/similar objectives to ABA principles and activities and preferably a ‘not for profit’ status.
  • ABA Newsletter ABA Newsletter ABA produces a quarterly newsletter, Brumby Bridges which highlights the activities of ABA, its member groups and wild horse issues in Australia and abroad.
  • Humane Management Humane Management The ABA advocates for humane management of wild horses. To this end, we are involved with a number or projects that aim to either progress best practice or expose and eliminate cruelty. Where possible, we endeavor to work with governments and organisations such as the RSPCA and Animals Australia to achieve acceptable outcomes.
  • FertilityControl FertilityControl Wild horse populations in many parts of the world are competing for resources with other species in the environment. Various legislation and government policies are now requiring control of wild horse populations and sometime this includes lethal control. While Fertility Control is not the total answer, it has a potential to add a humane and non-lethal control strategy to the management of wild horse populations.
  • Passive trapping Passive trapping Passive Trapping aims to capture horses with minimal interference from humans. Horses are allowed to enter the traps themselves to access food, water or salt licks. Traps can be very large or small but all have a gate that can be triggered to shut when horses enter or access the food, water or lick.
  • Re-Homing Re-Homing In simple terms, Re-Homing is the process of relocating brumby horses from a wild situation, be it a government conservation area or a station property and settling them into a domestic environment. But nothing is quite that simple and to successfully and humanely take a brumby from the wild and take it to the point of ownership involves a number of steps.
