Waler History
|
The Waler horse breed was given their name by the area in
which they came from, New South Wales in Australia. They are a result of being
taken over by the hands of eager settlers aiming to get a new life for
themselves and become more prosperous. Thoroughbreds, Clydesdales, Shires,
Arabs, and English Native Breeds were all introduced into this breed over time.
The Indonesian style horse, the Timor Pony became the most positive source for
the Waler horse to evolve. It was this cross breeding that helped aid in
keeping the horse breed strong and making it more agile. They began to become
the ideal breed of horses for utilization in the military for their excellent
stride, their fast pace, and their immense amount of energy. Even though they
were thought of as great animals, they virtually almost became extinct as time
went on due to the mechanization that occurred. During the 1980’s, the Waler
got the recognition they deserved by gaining a studbook.
