I call my horse Lilly "Brumby" as a term of endearment. But I didn't make the word up! In Australia a wild horse is called a brumby or brumbie. The word derives from the name of a Major William Brumby, an early 19th century settler from England who was a noted breeder of horses. Through the years a large number of his stock escaped and became feral. Another possible origin of the word-Booramby, Aborigine for wild.
I'm leaving for vacation for the next two weeks! I'll do my best to update this blog from the field! If I can't, I'll see you all for sure around August 15th!! Happy summertime and Happy Trails!!
