My parents bought Bella when I was 3. She came over from near the Snowies in a big truck with lots of ponies, they were bought to be broken in and used by a riding school near Adelaide. There was a fire through the Adelaide property while the ponies were in transit. So they had to sell the ponies. She was my first pony and I rode her until I was 15, she died at Tcharkulda, Minnipa This is a photo of about 12 months after we got her, she was 3 in this photo and I was 4, my first show, (cleve show), she was always the perfect kids pony.


and with my parents in harness at yallunda Flat show, in the late 70's

and Cummins Show, also late '70's

The black stallion is "Ace of Spades" i.e. as black as !
He came from Newhaven Station, N.T., when all the horses went from there.

only one of all the horses (mainly walers) taken over seas during WW1 was brought back. It was called Sandy and belonged to MG Bridge I believe.

Absolutly Saiorse, Lest we forget, those men and horses that sacrificed their lives so that our world would be a better place.

121,324 brave Walers were sent from Australia to participate in the WW1 effort. Only 1 came home.

Shishka, undergoing rehabilitation by Second Chance after severe neglect leading to a bad case of founder. Information has come to light that she is very likely off a well known station up North as this station is known to have produced several with her striking colour, and simular conformation/height.
