High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Waler is an Australian breed of riding horses that developed from the horses that were brought to the Australian colonies in the 1800s. The name comes from their early breeding origins in New South Wales, they were originally known as New South Walers.The Waler combined a variety of breeds; notably the Cape horse (from the Cape of Good Hope), English breeds, particularly the Thoroughbred, Arab), Timor Pony and perhaps a little Clydesdale or Percheron. It was originally considered only a "type" of horse and not a distinct breed. However, as a landrace bred under the extreme climate and challenging working conditions of Australia, the Waler developed into a hardy horse with great endurance even when under extreme stress from lack of food and water. It was used as a stockman's horse and prized as a military remount. Walers were also used by exploration expeditions that traversed inland Australia.
