At Hermannsburg, the horses proved difficult for the stockmen to manage. Paschke, in particular, struggled to contain the animals. At the beginning of 1922, he lost an entire mob on the way to market. Yet if January his letter to the Hermannsburg Committee is any indication, the stockmen had difficulty containing the animals from the outset: ‘Horses are fearfull (sic?) wild, big mob about but unable to get if you manage to round them up, you are unable to hold them.’ On 3 March, Heinrich writes to Stolz arguing that it is too difficult for one man to manage the horses. On 31 March Strehlow weighs into the debate, suggesting that Paschke lacks 'the necessary oversight and firm control over the blacks.' A volley of letters continues between the four men.
