Like any normal sane person we were pretty disgusted by this photo of a slain chestnut 'brumby' horse, and ultra disgusted at the person posing in it, (not to mention the person who happily took the ghastly photo. )
Denis Barden resides in Lara, Victoria, Australia, with his partner Robyn King who is a keen photographer. Please note we do not know if she took the above photo, but we are certainly curious about what she thinks about it.
Denis Barden went on to post this photo on this forum where he wrote:
'Guys this is a Brumby not a Horse.A Horse is something a Jockey rides.A Brumby is a Feral Horse. ''
Time to educate Denis. A wild horse is still a horse.
He then said: ''We don't eat them as they have numerous welts,cuts.blotches on their skin. Dont know about the meat.Shoot them to save the land and use them for pig/hog bait.
I also would have trouble in the USA as I couldn't shoot a Bear or one of your wild cats.''
You should not be killing any animal Denis
A Brumby is a term for a free-roaming wild horse in Australia, they are found in many areas around the country, however the best-known Brumbies are found in the Australian Alps region in south-eastern Australia. Today, most of them are found in the Northern Territory, with the second largest population in Queensland

Most Australians oppose the sort of behaviour that Denis demonstrates .
In England there is a quaint place called the New Forest, famous for it's horses and ponies, tourists flock to see them. Even been there myself on one of my many UK trips.
Shame on you Denis Barden.
