Description
'The Man from Snowy River Series' by Lexa Harpell
The leader of this mob of Wild Brumbies of the Australian Snow Mountains stands alert waiting to protect his mob. Captured near sunset as they kicked up the dry dust.
Incredibly fascinating watching the personalities, dynamics of the mob and 'pecking order'.
Although one must remember they are 'wild' animals and they will gladly kill you or another creature if they feel threatened in any way. Since these shots, I learned of many horror stories where they have killed other horses and tried to kill humans...Phew, glad I knew this before the facts, otherwise I would not have dared to caputre these brumbies on camera.
It's difficult to find and capture an image of these brumbies. After quite a while I finally got the chance. Kicking up dust in the afternoon light.
Their flesh is scared from running through the bush.
