Brumby reserve mooted as solution to Kosciuszko National Park's wild horse problem

What to do with Kosciuszko National Park's wild horses is a divisive topic, but a Snowy Mountains resident believes establishing a 'brumby reserve' could be the solution.

Batlow orchardist Barney Hyams believes the reserve would be a way to appease both sides of the discussion.

Mr Hyams chairs the Riverina Local Land Services board as well as the National Party's Riverina Electorate Council, but is making the proposal as a private citizen.

He has suggested the New South Wales government, which is responsible for brumby management, purchase a 20,000 to 30,000-hectare property in the mountains, fence it and then relocate horses there.
