It comes as activists fighting the program will face off against NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) during a question and answer session in Tumut on Saturday.

In May, the NPWS unveiled a plan which would escalate current culling programs and see 90 per cent of the brumby population in Kosciuszko National Park exterminated by 2020,

The proposal, still in its draft stage, has been criticised for overestimating  numbers in the park and decimating an Australian icon.

But environmentalists say the horse is a pest, wreaking havoc on native species, and numbers must be curbed. 

Only 40 of those removed from the park since the Queen’s Birthday have been re-homed, with the rest expected to be killed, Wagga campaigner Helen Day has said. 

“It’s very upsetting, I own a brumby and they can be re-homed,” she said.

“I’m not saying all of them can be, but if you get them young enough you can certainly ride them.” 

Ms Day has been camping with other activists in Kosciuszko National Park  to document the cull program. 

While wet conditions had halted the program, they are now believed to have recommenced. 

“We were up there yesterday [on Thursday] and at the ranger’s station, they were getting the trap pens ready again now,” she said.  

“I think a couple of loads of horses will be coming down from the mountains.”

Hundreds of horse lovers are expected to attend the Tumut question and answer session to rally against the proposal, which is open to submissions until August 19. 

“We want to go up there and say ‘we’re still here’,” Ms Day said.

“We know what this is about, and we haven’t forgot what you are doing.”

After attending Saturday’s question and answer in Tumut, Ms Day will travel to Sydney on Tuesday to attend a statewide rally.
