For all horse lovers and lovers of Australian history this CD is for you. It will make you laugh, cry, ponder and reflect. The 150 true short stories and poems range from colonial days to the Olympic opening ceremony.
Stories from another era, like these, are so important. We have to remember that soon there will be no-one who remembers. The horse was once “king”, a subject for conversation everywhere that men gathered. Everybody had a story to tell. They were very much a part of peoples lives.
These CD’s are so easy to listen to and incredibly informative. They let you into the lives of the people who rode, ploughed, hauled and drove this nation to its feet.
