02.01.2022 Pause to Remember On Remembrance Day 2020, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause for a minute’s silence to remember those who sacrificed ...so much in war for our peace and safety. It is fitting we remember our wonderful Walers too during WW1 Australia committed around 130,000 horses and New Zealand over 8,000. The term ‘Waler’ was first used by the British in India referring to those horses that were bred in the colony of New South Wales. By 1867, the Waler had developed a reputation as one of the finest cavalry horses in the world, and battles like the charge of the Lighthorse at Beersheba in 1917 made legends internationally of our homebred, outback-toughened horses. Their feats of endurance and bravery on the battlefield during WWI are hard to imagine the horses often did not drink for days and had limited food rations and they proved tougher than camels in the desert. There were also artillery horses, the pushers and pullers, often the unsung heroes of the battle ground. Daisy and Belle were a pair of Walers who saved their driver, a man named Banks, when he fell into a shell-hole and became stuck in the mud. No one was around so Banks called out to his two trusty horses. ‘Here Daisyhere Belle’ Then ‘Left DaisyBack girl, back!’ Daisy came to the rescue by turning her rear towards her master until he could grab a hold of her tail. Using all her strength, she gently pulled Banks free. (Forgotten heroes: the Australian Waler Horse, pp. 49-50). Sadly only one horse returned to Australia. The horse, named Sandy, belonged to Major General William Bridges who was killed at Gallipoli. After the war Sandy spent the rest of his days out to graze at the Central Remount Depot at Maribyrnong, Vic. For ANZAC Day this year, we invited Pony Club members to send in photos of their 'Driveway Tributes' during COVID-19 lockdown. You may enjoy viewing it again on this special day. https://youtu.be/2W0B84ztKp0 #walers #pcaremembranceday #australianwalers #remembranceday Photos: Victorian Art Gallery, Murrumbateman Pony Club, Australian War Memorial.
