As children (Wellington NZ),our father bought my brother and I 'Taupo Brumbies' - wild horses from the central North Island. We understood the original horses were released by the British Army, under General Duncan A Cameron, when it withdrew c 1864. We understood the name for the well-bred military horses, Brumb(ies)y came from a Sergeant James Brumby, who was ordered to dispose of the Army's horses as they would not be reurned to Britain. Sergeant Brumby choose to release the animlas in the wild. The NZ wild horses are still thriving, although they are culled, and are now called 'Kaimanawa Horses' after the mountain range and plains. I now note that Australian feral horses carry the 'brumby' name, perhaps arising from a Sergeant Brumby's abandonment of horses in NSW, 1804. The dates and events are so far apart, one of the explanations is wrong. I can see no mention of the Seargeant in the officer's listing for Cameron's Forces. Any suggestions: can I track the Sergeant's miltary service, and other aspects? (Perrypie (talk) 05:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC))[reply]
