We Remember
Just a real privilege to have access to archival photos and wonderful to have photos and information sent to us from private family collections.
War Animals
Thank you to the people and animals that served. Our horses showed why they were among the world’s best, in Europe, in the Middle East.
Conservation Grazing
Conservation grazing is done very successfully in so many countries. It’s all about adequate management, with local people forming groups to do this.
Of basic significance is that wild horses/native horses and ponies graze totally differently to domestic equines.
Where are our Ponies?
Waler and Timor ponies were once central to daily life in Australia, now facing extinction.

TW Homelands Piperita, most affectionately known as Pipi
How did our family get involved with Walers? As seems to be the way with Walers, one thing just led to another, and Piperita and Coolibah joined our family.
The Story of Two Rescued Waler Ponies
In November of 2018, amid serious bushfire in central east Queensland, two little brumby colts were caught in yards when cattle were mustered to save them from the fires.
Walers in Action
Horses were once all we had for work and transport, they had to be safe, versatile, easy to keep, and above all, sensible. A good horse with comfortable action was always in high demand, and still is today!
