Our Inspiration- The Australian Light Horse

Memorial to the Australian Light Horse (Tamworth Waler Memorial)

Our Australian Light Horse collection of paintings, are inspired by our love of horses and the amazing true stories of the Australian Light Horsemen and their Walers - the hardy and reliable Australian army horses.

Who were the Australian Light Horse?

	The Australian Light Horse were mounted soldiers with characteristics of both cavalry and infantry. (To find out more click)
	During World War I an Australian Light Horseman usually spent 24 hours a day with or in close proximity to his horse.
	Both horse and man relied on each other for their own survival.
	Under such conditions very close bonds formed between a Light Horseman and his Waler.
	A spirit of mateship and loyalty characterised the Light Horsemen.
	Both the Light Horsemen and their Walers became renown for their courage and endurance in extreme conditions.

We have endeavoured to capture a glimpse of this heritage in our paintings.

Jennifer:

I picked up the print today from our nosy small town postal worker. "What did you get from Australia?" she asked. When I remarked that it was a print of the Australian Light Horse in WWI all that generated was a very puzzled look.
In any event the print is absolutely gorgeous . . . better "in person" than on the website! Thanks so much for sending it out so fast. Now I've got to make some wall space available . . .
