The first horses to arrive in Australia were brought by the First Fleet in 1788, which included horses brought by Captain Arthur Phillip, the fleet's commander and the first Governor of New South Wales. These horses were essential for transportation, agriculture, and exploration in the new colony. Additionally, horses were later introduced to Australia by other settlers and explorers, contributing to the development of the country's equestrian culture.
