These horses are thriving in the Kosciuszko National Park but their hard hoofs are causing a lot of damage to the fragile alpine ecosystem. Australian native mammals all have soft feet which are not a problem. Culling is sometimes necessary but it always causes much distress because people are very sentimental about horses.
