NSW Environment Minister asks for an evaluation of wild horse management plan in Kosciuszko National Park

The New South Wales Environment Minister has asked for the RSPCA to help with an evaluation of the wild horse management plan in the Snowy Mountains, after members of the public discovered dead horses that appeared to have been shot.

Photographs of around 11 dead wild horses at Kiandra in Kosciuszko National Park surfaced on social media earlier this week, prompting the local Monaro MP Nichole Overall to call for an immediate assessment of the implementation of the management plan.

The wild horse management plan was adopted by the NSW Government in 2021 and aims to reduce wild horse numbers in the national park from 14,000 to 3,000 by 2027.
