Saving the Snowy Brumbies




Vicki, Kelly and Amanda Wilson head to Australia for their latest wild horse adventure.

Each year thousands of Australia’s legendary Brumbies are aerially culled or captured and sold for slaughter to manage the world’s largest population of wild horses. When the Wilson Sisters hear of government plans to cull 90 per cent of the Snowy Mountain Brumbies, they eagerly sign up for the Australian Brumby Challenge to learn more about these iconic horses’ desperate plight.

Assigned ponies so small that even the slaughterhouses have rejected them, Vicki, Kelly and Amanda realise their Brumbies' future lies with much younger riders. Will these Brumbies embrace the many changes ahead of them, and can the sisters find children they trust to ride recently wild ponies?

The sequel to the best-selling books For the Love of Horses, Stallion Challenges and Mustang Ride.
