The 'dream team ' is at it again !
Milly took her girl to a dressage and combined training competition on the weekend where she won champion combined training and reserve champion dressage both days. I always knew Missy was something special . For a horse that had been relaxing in a paddock for 2 years to step straight back into success so quickly is an amazing achievement to both horse and rider . Well done to you both on your continued success .

Teamwork is essential for achieving outstanding results. Missy continues to shine in the show ring for Amelia at events like Kingaroy and Crows Nest. Amelia deserves warm congratulations.

Its moments like these that make the tough decisions worth it when you see a new owner enjoying themselves . Today was SCH Daintree's (Missy) first day at pony club for her new owner Amelia where she competed in Tetrathlon and went over jumps 60cm in height where she made sure she well and truly cleared them for her rider

What sets Guy Fawkes Heritage Horses apart from other Australian wild horses?

Long before the Guy Fawkes River became a national park, it was inhabited by local graziers. From the early 1800’s to the 1940’s, horses were specifically bred in this area for the remount trade. These horses were part of the Colony's first exports of "War Horses" in 1834 to the British army in India.

Over 320,000 horses left Australian shores with over 120,000 from NSW. Thousands of these horses were drafted for use by the Australian Light Horse Brigade in World War I.

In the early 2000's, a study was commissioned into the heritage value of the horses in the newly formed Guy Fawkes River National Park with a commitment to manage them humanely if genuine heritage significance was proven.

It was this work that has proven the unique heritage value of the Guy Fawkes horses as DNA testing found that these horses have significant historical, military and cultural value. They are direct descendants of Australia's wartime cavalry horses, known as Walers, and are the only group of Australian Wild Horse to have this proven heritage value. The ancestors of the horses within the Guy Fawkes River park were among those that carried the Australian Light Horse Brigade to victory in the last great cavalry charge at Beersheba in 1917.
