Megan Schumer's Story
Megan Schumer is a teenager near the Snowy Mountains. She is a horse enthusiast and brumby advocate. She shares her story of love and passion for Australia's wild horses, the brumbies.

Dear Lyall,
Hi I have been meaning to write to you for a long time but I have not
got around to it. I love brumbies as well and even though I am
only 12 I keep a record on how many I see and where and do
petitions like your friend Jan. I see about 20 herds up at *****
and ***** near ***** close to my nans farm
in *****. (locations have been deleted to protect these brumbies)
Right now I am covered in pine zap from my nans pine logs
that she is falling this month. I have always wanted Brumbies
to run on her property that's why I am going to type a story
that takes place on her property. When I start it and finish it
I will send it to you to put on Jan website. I have enclosed
some photos, drawings and stories for you to put on the web sites
and was wondering if you could return the photos as I only have
one copy each. In the future I will send you and Jan some videos
of the brumbies that I take. Here are the names of all the herds I
have seen.

The hill Hovers = 15
The charity Herd = 9
The Faithful Lot = 10
The hopeful Herd = 6
The Main Mob = 8 but possibly 9
The Road Hoggers = ? But we think there are at least 6
The cunning one = 1
The small Four = 4
The two gallopers = 2
The black boy = 1
The Bay ten = 10
The Cimarron = 25-30
The young ones = 8
Blaze = 1 but has got a herd but we never get to see them

Total = 113 horses

As you can see I have found a lot of horses in the forests and grasslands. There
isn't much grassland though it's all pine and gum trees but they still manage to eat a
Lot. I name some horses I find but it is hard to name them all, as there are one hundred
And seventeen of them. I admire your work as well as Jan's and hope you will
Continue to do it through out your lives. Here are some stories and drawings of and
About Brumbies I hope you like them
From Megan
P.s Please reply and send photos back you can keep the drawings and stories.
