In short: A report on the review of the wild horses rehoming program in Kosciuszko National Park has been made public.
It has made four key recommendations to strengthen the program, which the NSW Environment Department has accepted in principle.
Lynette Sutton is a brumby rehomer based at Berrigan, and said the review is an “acknowledgement of [NPWS] failing their own processes”.
“Hopefully, it will see the road forward with rehoming where incidents like Wagga don’t happen again.”

What’s next? The rehoming program will be revised and will recommence in about four weeks’ time.
