In October 2024, SSE2024 Inc received its official freeze branding iron, a powerful symbol carrying our unique Sigil. Expertly crafted by Ellie from BEINC, this mark represents the uniqueness of every Brumby, their right to protection, and their place in Australia’s heritage. More than just a brand, it's a legacy, honouring the lives we’ve helped change and the future we continue to fight for.

The Brumby isn’t just a wild horse of Australia’s high country, it’s the ancestor of the iconic Waler. Born from bloodlines toughened by the land itself, the Brumby passed on its grit, endurance, and sure-footed resilience to the horses that became our soldiers’ lifeline in the desert campaigns of World War I. It’s not just part of the story, it’s where the story begins.

Australia’s wild Brumbies are facing extinction from the very mountains they’ve called home for over 200 years. At Silver Springs Equine 2024 Inc, we’re taking the reins to secure land where they can live safely, with their family mobs, free, protected, and undisturbed. This isn’t rescue. This is preservation. Help us bring the Brumby Land Project to life. Every contribution makes a difference.

This Christmas, Kossi Elf reflects on the dedication of Ian and Michelle, whose passion for the Brumbies and Kosciuszko National Park has inspired the world.

Today we celebrate SSE Summer’s 1st birthday! A year ago, this beautiful Brumby foal began her journey of love and growth with Foster Carer Donna Pratt. Thanks to Donna’s incredible care, Summer has flourished, embodying her rich lineage of Waler, Turkoman, and Hanoverian ancestry.

Kossi Elf stands at the edge of a mountain peak, ready for a leap of faith. With wings untested, he faces the “what ifs” of falling or flying. This Christmas, he reminds us that courage, not certainty, makes the leap worthwhile. Wings only work when we’re willing to soar.

This Christmas, let’s strive to be on Kossi’s nice list by spreading joy and lending a hand, because doing good feels great!

Kossi Elf reflects on the double standard in Kosciuszko National Park, where Brumbies are blamed for environmental damage while human projects leave far greater scars. This Christmas, he invites us to see the bigger picture and question what true conservation should look like.

Today, Kossi Elf met Elf Nigel, a well-meaning mate with big concerns about the Brumbies. Nigel whispered, “They’re out of control! There’s no way to manage them!” Kossi’s shock wasn’t at the claim itself but at how far it missed the truth.

Kossi reminded Nigel that Brumby Phobia comes from a narrow mindset, focusing on problems instead of solutions. Through the camera’s lens, Brumbies tell a story of beauty, resilience, and family bonds. The real solution lies in positive management and dedicated spaces, not culling.

Kossi Elf stands at the Gate of Hope beneath a glowing star, wishing for a future where Brumbies live freely with their family mobs. This Christmas, let’s turn hope into action and ensure these heritage horses thrive for generations to come.
