A history lesson in real life....
"A lot of horses came from the country areas, and so on, and they were part of families and working stations and they never came back, so we've gotta remember them too: the horses, their sacrifice, both on the Western Front and the Middle East."
The hardiness and endurance of Waler horses in Palestine and Sinai in World War I became legendary.
Mick says this was largely because most had been bred in the harsh Australian outback.
