Tipperary

Horses from Cordillo Downs in remote South Australia were mostly known for their look-at-me attributes, lighter Officer’s Charger types, with the good bone essential to all Walers. Harsh country running sheep in those days required large numbers of excellent horses: sensible, smart and tough. These horses were rescued in the mid 1980s from saleyards in Alice Springs (destination Peterborough Meatworks in SA) when a society to save the Waler breed was started.
