Where are our Ponies?
Waler and Timor ponies were once central to daily life in Australia, now facing extinction.
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.
Waler Pony in History
Ponies were very popular, particularly for racing, which was run in height classes. There was a huge market for ponies for racing overseas too, a significant trade for us.
