Clipper
Clipper is a name taken from a Waler from WW1.
Captured on Todd River Downs in 2019 as a result of extensive research into the likely presence of old-boodlines breeding true to this day in the isolated and harsh country but being removed as feral animals so facing extinction in this area.
Wonderful old-bloodlines and colour diversity represented, some medium horses were seen but mostly light and a handful of the rare pony type.

Clipper foaled shortly after arrival at her final destination in Queensland, after initially being trucked to Victoria, colt foal Percy.
