Brumby's Run
By the 29th of February 2004 the entire wild herd had been transferred carefully by dedicated members of the preservation society to their new home, the scenic block dubbed "Brumbies Run" an apt nickname for the Wild Ponies home.

Lookout vantage spots provide sweeping views of Kellidie bay and excellent spots are available to view the Brumbys without disturbing them.

The Brumbys will continue to be trapped on a water point as this has proved to be the best way to safely yard the ponies and maintain minimal human contact to maintain their wild horse status as much as practical.
This parcel of land was part of the original "Hawson" lease where the Coffin bay brumby as we know it started its existence some 160 odd years ago. Emphasis will be on a conservation reserve with a twist in that it will contain what we believe, are our own endangered local native ponies.
The boundary fence is approximately 185cm high with 16 horizontal wires. The vertical wires at 30cm makes this a serious fence capable of restricting access to kangaroos and emus which are in incredibly high numbers in this area.
There are 6 identified endangered grassland bird species in this area which of course are no threat to the brumbys and we are happy to assist in providing a safe environment for them. Regular fox baiting and feral cat control will be a feature of this management, no doubt there will be many small native species that will thrive in a secure environment safe from predators.
Wild Brumby

After being backed into a corner by militant environmental groups that enforced the eviction of the brumbys from their home of 160 years against the wishes of the vast majority of locals and visitors that use the park, we are determined to prove we were always right and that closure of all the National Park water holes, some of which have obviously been there since time began, will result in tragedy for native species particularly birds whose ancestors have relied on these water points for generations.

Wild Brumby
The Brumbys are now in close proximity to the Coastal township of Coffin Bay and are accessible for viewing in conventional vehicles by arrangement with the preservation society. The Brumbys ran on this land for a time before being moved down the "Peninsula" where the main wild herd remained until eviction.
Once organised horse breeding was abandoned, pockets of horses appeared all over the peninsula, there are numerous reports of wild horses wandering through the township of Coffin Bay and they have been an integral part of local history, so we believe we have found a workable compromise to enable the brumbys to keep their wild horse status and constitutional integrity and also provide an opportunity for interested public to view them.
If the horses had been moved to the "One Tree Hill" site as the Minister for the Environment, under guidance from National Parks pushed heavily for, the public would never have seen them again. Unworkable restrictions on human access would have destroyed the preservation society and the ponies would have been sold off and the breed as such would have disappeared.
As we all know horse enthusiasts are a tough breed and we are sure the brumbys will live on as long as there are people interested in administering them, new members are needed, as we are all growing older.
