Hale
Waler pony Hale was 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, read more about this project here.
Her ancestry shows Garrano, Galiceno and cream draught (with a smidge of Timor identified thanks to a privately funded project at the University of Sydney).
Hale delivered colt foal Pinjee in November 2019 at Taradale, Victoria shortly after her capture on Todd River Downs. Pinjee is an important addition to the Waler studbook.
Her second foal (colt Zephyr) arrived on 9 January 2023, sire is Timor Pony stallion Balios. Hale’s third foal (colt Clancy) was born in October 2024, sire is Timor Pony stallion Xanthos.
