Listen to poem:
The brumby of Australia, not known to be well bred Some are tough as leather, but that not often said More criticised that praised, for damage that they do Muddying the waterholes, as cattle never do The biggest problem that they have, their wish to have a roll Find some nice clean water, then muddy up the hole They will get to station horses, the mares have foul breed foals The quality completely gone, and fences torn to holes The stockman love to muster them, the wildest of the rides Chase them way along the flat, and down the mountain sides But we also have a saying, and is so very true You should never kill a good horse, as some brumby chasers do So though it is so very sad, we have to thin them out We can only breed fine horses, if no brumbies are about Your life depends on stamina, and full trust in your mount It is your horse that saves your life, more times than you can count
