Type: Pony
Foundation mare Hale was captured on Todd River Downs in 2019, age approx three years. She is classified as Pony. These photographs show how she is developing over time, a rare example remaining in our domestic Walers.
Type: Heavy (Artillery)
To our knowledge the heavy Waler type is virtually lost to the breed (at least in a domestic situation). We would love to hear otherwise and to add photographs to this post.

Angela Waler Journey
All I did was stop at the Castlemaine market one Saturday to buy some apples. A Waler breeder from Tylden was there and the rest is history as they say.
I asked if I could visit their horses sometime, as although I had heard about them I had never met a Waler horse. No problem was the answer.
