My friend Kevin Pick
After meeting Kevin in 2019 while at Todd River Downs to capture 20 of his horses to bring back to Victoria I wanted to go back and visit.

Memorials are such an important way for us to learn about and reflect upon past sacrifice in war.
It is now three years since the re-launch of our Public Record for Walers, this website. Did I know when I bought my first Waler, Fisher, that this was in our future?
Waler Horse: the Australian made all-rounder. Yep that is my stallion Classic Ezekiel. Time to try out a new sport, with cattle and a night away from home essential ingredients.
I have documented this journey to help inform decisions about breeding and stallion keeping and the required training. It is a huge responsibility and not to be taken lightly, especially with respect to rare breeds such as the Waler.
It is in particular on Mollie’s behalf that I write this post as she represents the future: will we still be able to find an old-fashioned girl like Mollie in twenty years?
Mike’s first visit to take photos was in May 2011, during a very wet period where my driveway was just mud so he had to walk from the front gate as his car was not a 4WD.
Please help us celebrate our first year of the new website by visiting us often to learn and enjoy, sharing links from our pages, and making contact if you know anything more about the Walers that are in our database, or should be.
