The Walers Mate
My son Lucas and his horse were the models for this collection so I have the whole light horse collection sadly my son was taken from us in 2017 before the collect was released so they are all very special to his family
This cold cast bronze miniature figurine pays tribute to the special bond shared between the men of the Australian Light Horse and their loyal Australian bred Waler mounts. The Waler, a breed specifically developed for Australia's rugged terrain, proved to be a resilient companion during battles in the deserts of the Middle East. The Australian Light Horse played a crucial role in the Mediterranean and Egyptian Expeditionary Forces, engaging in conflicts against the Ottoman Empire in Gallipoli, Sinai, Palestine, and Syria. Unlike traditional cavalry, the light horse operated as mounted infantry, dismounting to fight on foot. This figurine captures the essence of their bravery and camaraderie.
