Geocache Description:

This is a series of 7 caches, the theme - Horse Breeds Originating in Australia.
They have been placed along a quite road, near horse country.

A pleasant drive, just to get you out and about, with the bonus of finding a cache.

As we started geocaching when we lived in Mandurah, we decided to place our first cache near by.


The Australian Stock Horse (or Stockhorse),
has been especially bred for Australian conditions. It is a hardy breed of horse noted for endurance, agility and a good temperament. Its ancestry dates to the arrival of the first horses in Australia, brought from Europe, Africa and Asia. It is used today in a wide variety of disciplines, and is still valued as a working horse by stockmen throughout Australia.

The Australian Stock Horse is bred for intelligence, courage, toughness and stamina. The horse will be sound, agile and quick moving with a surefooted walk. It will have a calm, responsive temperament. All colours are acceptable. Height ranges from 14 hands to 16.2 hands.

The ideal Australian Stock Horse is well proportioned in all respects according to its size. Desired traits include a finely cut, expressive head with large eye and a broad forehead. The neck is long, arched, with head well set on. The withers should be well defined. Overall conformation is well-muscled but not bulky, with correct conformation that includes a deep chest, well-sprung ribs, strong and broad back, and powerful hindquarters. The hooves are hard and well-conformed.





The cache:-
You are looking for a variety of small black or grey containers, and they should be easy to find.
No need to distroy any vegetation. Most only have a log book, so please bring your own pen.

Happy hunting.


OOH YEH has kindly offered to maintan these caches for us.
