Horses

The horses at the Farm are selected for their quietness when being handled and good behaviour under saddle. These horses are used to provide Pony Rides for our Hosted Birthday Parties, our monthly Family Days and to teach Horsemanship in our Young Farmer's Program.

These horses include Maggie and Annie (both thoroughbread mares, Tealeaf, a chestnut Arab mare, Charlie Benson, a Clydesdale cross gelding, Tyson, a chestnut Pony, Smurf, a palomino Appaloosa gelding and Mega, a bay Waler mare.

Mega the Waler is on lease to the Farm from the Waler Horse Owners and Breeders Association Australia Inc.

ImageThe Waler is a breed of horse that was formed in the very early years of Australia's history. The first horses brought to Australia were a mixture of draft, coach and pony breeds. These breeds were used to establish a hardy, versatile type of horse that became essential to early settlers. This type of horse was later on to become known as the Waler.
