Brumbies do much
more than eat grass and do manures throughout the day. They can be seen cantering
5
around when frisky, foals will play,
bachelor stallions will move about looking and hoping to 'capture' their own
mares, lead mares will lead the mob from pasture to pasture and to water,
colts which have been cast out of a mob by the stallion will form their own
mobs, and so on.
If you are prepared to put in the time watching these most intelligent, social,
tough, interesting and beautiful animals, you will be well rewarded by viewing
their most interesting social structures and ways of life - much more so than
reading about them in a book.
