The wild horses are being trapped and removed from three sensitive areas of the Kosciuszko National Park after the Land and Environment Court dismissed a bid to stop the practice.

The trapping and rehoming of feral horses in the Kosciuszko National Park has resumed after the Land and Environment Court dismissed a bid to stop the practice.

"One of the things that came out of the court case is more interest for rehoming of horses, so we're hopeful that we'll be able to increase that number from 155 upwards.""What we know is in those three sensitive areas there are estimated to be about 4,000 horses," Mr Pettitt said. "So we'll remove horses from the Nungar Plains and we'll reduce the horse numbers in Kiandra and Cooleman Plains."Pro-brumby group will lobby for changes

and said he has again written to the Environment Minister Matt Kean urging him to authorise a recount of feral horses in the national park."We went through the worst fires last summer and lost a lot of wildlife and somehow the anti-brumby groups believe the brumbies survived it," Mr Barilaro said.Survey data collected in 2019 found the brumby population was up from about 5,000 in 2014 to 20,000.
