THE BRUMBIES OF THE TINDERRY RANGE • AN AUSTRALIAN STORY 

As an prof. german horseman I rode (or drove) hundrets, perhaps thousands horses in my entire life. But all of them where tamed breeds of Europe, never a wild one. It's a complete other work and other basics. Hat off, my friend for your perfect skills and horsemanship too❤ Best regards from Germany Nearby, the type of Australian stock saddle is the best I prefare !

I love to see someone train horses and ride them without bits, yes it can be done!🤠

The white mare runs so fully extended that her legs are almost completely horizontal to the ground. Wow. I'm grateful for you sharing on RU-vid. My long-ish life around horses is something I miss in illness. Don't watch horse exploitation in shows or races. Rescues are safe best lives. Good camera work. From Texas. Been riding English, Western, bareback all over the Americas including South. I look forward to seeing more to hopefully support financially.

My Dad was Greg's very close friend and the property that Snowy and the other wild horses roamed when they were wild is actually my parents property and while Snowy wouldn't let anyone near her the other horses were actually very friendly and would even let you pat them. Mum has a story about me when I was about 5, wandering off from everyone and when they noticed I was standing under the chest of one of the horses patting it. I also remember the day that they blew up the boulder. If you listen, when Owen is explaining what they're doing, there's kids playing in the background and I'm one of those kids. In case anyone was wondering, this was probably over 10 years ago now and they were indeed the last mob of wild horses in the area.

A TRUE CONECTION WTH THE HEART AND SOUL OF HORSES, DEAR GREG, YOU ARE A MASTER OF YOUR GIFT, UK.

In addition to great story, Loved the respectful handling and the bit-less riding!! Very cool

What a lovely story! Those aussie saddles are amazing and I rode atop one for 10 plus years aboard a paso fino. My heart horse. I wish all wild horses were so lucky. Sadly in America it's one of the great down falls.

I love Snowy , I admire her Spirit and her kindness and willingness ❤

Oh yeah, she's fast! When you were trying to round them up, I could tell she was just playing with you lol. What a horse!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful story, well done, you have a great heart!!!! ❤️ Boey does she love the snow! Also, stunning how you don't use bridles, and use haulers, that's amazing the obedience and free feeling for these animals... IMPRESSIVE!

To The Powell Family & Mates..thankyou for making this Aussie girl very proud...dont ever change💝🐎

Amazing what one can accomplish when you ask nicely. Well done. Many blessings to you and your Brumbies

A truly moving and touching film, love that you just ride in a rope halter.

So great to see a group riding without the jangling sound of bits.

A great story

I was not aware there were horses in the Tinderrys, which run east side of Monaro Highway between Canberra and Cooma. I raised horses at Numeralla in the 80's. Beautiful film, great horsemanship, stunning mare, me favouring horses on the chunky side with lots of bone. Well done.

Snowy is one of the most beautiful mares I have ever seen, a beautiful story,very touched by it and how you gained her trust, totally inspiring video, thank you

I love to see the Arabian endurance horses there. I didn’t know if they were used much in Australia. Seems a perfect place for a horse that can really travel the ground. I have Arabs in western Colorado USA, so great for mountain riding! We also have wild horses in this area and the same concerns, population growth and over grazing problems. It’s difficult, love to see them free..

Incredible peice of work with Snowy and documentary. Cant wait to see more. Thank you and Gday

Beautiful movie and exciting, is this how Snowy River was produce into movie.,beautiful 🐎, I love it! Thanks.

What a beautiful story, well told

Wow thank you for sharing the story of the bumbies they are amazing creatures

Good video (except the crappy music) there aren't many people who think for the wildlife anymore let alone save some of them so what you have done for Snowy & the other Horses is fantastic, I've been around Horses since the age of 6 & I can't get enough of them, you show a Horse kindness & trust-you get the same back & more.

much respect sir

Enjoy watching your inspiring journey with your wild horses, looking forward to watching more.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video thank you for sharing your love and respect for these beautiful animals ❤

great story

It is all Monty Roberts Join-Up technique. I practice his Join-Up with the LLamas I have worked with over many years. People are always the animal that needs the training, not the animal!!

They’re beautiful horses!!!

What a great story!!🍎🍏🥕🐎👍

Love it, mate. I hope that not all the wild horses disappear from our mountains. 🥰🥰

Thanks for sharing your beautiful story 👍👏🫶

Well presented documentary.

Very nice video. Educational and informative. Beautiful horses as well. Hope we're told when your mare has her baby.

It would be interesting to see what kind of foal Snowy would throw with an Arabian Stallion.. With her great confirmation and easy willingness and the beautiful head and heart of fire I think the foal would be an awesome horse to see and have.. That way you would have a good breed from both sides of Both breeds on opposite ends!

I would have called her Grace! But I just want to say you are amazing and so good to watch, well done on everything and all the best for the future with your beautiful horses!

This was wonderful, thank you from America....what a beautiful Country and spirit.

A you sure that gray mare is wild because you got a winner. Great horses. Alberta Canada. Wish you all the best in 2023

Great story and true spirit of horsemanship.

Thank you!!

Absolutely brilliant from a cold winter UK . fascinating

There Soo beautiful ❤️

Thanks for a great story.Made my day,maybe my month,maybe my year..

Great show

very impressive story and respectful training to ride bitless.

The horse TV is goddess of horses

Nice! Thank you!

enjoyed watching this viedo.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip that you took with snowy. I am so elated because of the fact that you took a wild horse and made it not hard for her to adjust to be in twin . I look forward to see much more of your videos I am a horse lover I’ve never been on one but once but I enjoy looking at these beautiful animals as a Gallup tastic take care of their foal when they are Foaling.

Totally loved the video, amazing horse and amazing handler. Would love to have been able to get to Australia.

That is a great video you have a great life I really enjoyed the history and the gold mine and the way that you built your round pen with your basic tools I wish I would have learned in my life about animals like you do

Great story people 👍🏻👊

thank you

I just found your channel and I liked your video so I have subscribed to your channel.. Snowy is a beautiful mare and I wish you all the luck with gentling her.. Am looking forward to watching your progress with her!

Awesome ❤thank you for sharing love the story and admire your work of course the Horse is my fascination ❤ my inspiration to draw when I was young an artist painter ❤

Great story! I love history and your introduction was interesting. Thanks for a job well done. The Marsh Tacky has a history in South Carolina.

Appaloosa's introduced into Australia in the 60's and 70's so not true Brumbies. But still great horsemanship. Showing great affinity with the horse as opposed to traditional Australian Stockman methods of 'breaking' horses. Great scenery

this is quite good!

That was brilliant.. this is what Australia used to be all about.. our beautiful country, and amazing horse men and woman. Well done.

Reminds of snowy river movie

What a great gift snowy gave you, and you gave the wild horses! Tami from Oklahoma

Great to see real horsemanship, the level of understanding is superb. What of the stallion's paramour? did she have a foal?

brilliant

Very specil i wish you the best off luck❤

Awesome

Thank you for your journey with wild horse , job well done I like to see more wild horse looked after and kept safe . Also you didn’t tell us we’re these horse came from since there not native ti Australia

The man from snowy river was an Irish man he’s name was Jack Reilly Banjo Patterson did write the poem, but Jack Riley was the man from snowy River

I have been a Waler fan and owner for some years. A while ago, there was a massive cull of these magnificent animals, and it disgusted me. I think that's what happened to the rest of your mob.

I love it 😅

Thank you for the great video...just wondering why you left the mane matted? For remnants of the wild mare.

I couldn't find exact date but this is at least 2002. As He Greg shows Snowy off at the Equitana then. I figured it had some age to it. Going on the picture quality. Very cool. Sadly the shooting of these horses is still a massive issue.

Beautiful story. I was wondering if you were ever able to get her mane deranged? I can image it flowing like silky angel hair ❤

We got a few running around top of aotearoa new Zealand

Love watching your videos love what you do😊 I believe you’re very good horse trainer, and a very caring man and you are so right. We have to find another solution for these horses but not for them to be killed. That’s just like people so my question would be if there’s too many people and people keep having children after children after children, what do we do then we don’t dispose of them no you just don’t do that. I really enjoy your videos.😊

Snowy ❤ Mine was Misty 💖a Dapple Grey Mare 😊

Brilliant video mate! Would be cool to conect with you as I have been doing a similar project but in Patagonia. Cheers

That is heaven on earth

Well done

I enjoyed your story of your part of the Australian bush @ of cause the wild horses (my favourite animal ) I originated from the high country in Victoria ,high plains, and the brumby horse. In which there none of them left.some wild horses are there, I’m told around 800 The rest. have been shot, as Vernon. Every thing has a place on this planet , it’s the management of humans that have ruined it all…😂❤

I want to know what kind of foal you got? Fantastic ! Thank you for sharing. P,ease follow up with the foal.

Maybe you can start wild horses sanctuary maybe called snowy and her mates

Hahaha im so glad you wernt in that sadle.

Brumbies!

❤‍🔥 🙏👍👍

🙌💖🐴🐎❤🙏

🤗🐴🇦🇺

do mustang horse in usa considered as invader too?

Wild horses need to be protected as they are part of our history. Why not establish a wild horse reserve for these amazing horses where they can be properly managed in a humane and sustainable way. 😊

Australia please give Africa some of those horses specially to Namibia.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

😁😁😁😁😁

He is a rotten little cuss, but he is so hansom. Darn Snowy is beautiful. You need to get the knots out of her mane.

SHAME THEIR APPALOOSA CROSSES NOT PURE BRUMBIES BUT GREAT STORY ANYWAY

Why do you allow the dogs in the pen? They're hardly helping with the training and seem totally out of control.

The Arabian horses are slower than the brumbies. Lol 🤣

These aren't true bunnies, there breeding is being managed, palmino and appalossa are not traditional brumby colours.

The fact is that we, as humans, don't even remotely understand the horse or any other animal. We don't understand ourselves or each other. This, in a veil of appearing to be heroic and in aiding the brumbies, is an advertisement for the egocentric human condition that believes we must 'make use of things', contain animals for our purpose, be the great conqueror, dominate - even if we pretend to do so with the best intention - so that we can utilise the item of our choice. Firstly, randomly breeding more horses so that we can acquire attention, the 'best' horse for OUR choice, is utterly and completely irresponsible. In this country alone, countless thousands upon thousands or horses go to the knackery every day, many of those highly bred thoroughbred race horses, because ALL horses in this nation are overbred, whether for profit or indiscriminate stupidity and lack of conscious awareness of where that horse will potentially end up. This was not a good watch for me. I have worked with the unwanted animals of this world. It's ugly. I have endured the egos of this world and all their 'horse training' and it's ugly. We must begin to address our own responsibility and not the dollar that we worship and start by thinking why we are breeding so many horses - for profit or pride is virtually always the answer. The great tragedy is that all of the magnificent animals of this earth are wastage to the human control agenda. None of them are free, not even wildlife. This video does absolutely nothing to address a real perspective on the Australian brumby. It's about people, bla, bla, bla... win a prize, look good on close ups, be a hero, show the horse who's boss. Not much has changed. This wasn't information that was remotely good enough for the HORSE.

The horses, the country, the movie snowey river me and my son were going to take trip to Australa come 1985but lord had different plan my son was killed in Aug 4 n1985 whil serving in the U S Navy. Id tried to live part hard as it was I came back home and went in to the horses had a good run at it.well that another story . ol

Please Australia if you don’t want these beautiful magnificent horses invent a program to transport them out of Australia

Did the stallion explode up her box
