TD 003 – Australian Pony Traditional Cache

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 Pony
is a breed of pony that developed in Australia. It was greatly influenced by the native British breeds, especially the Welsh Pony, as well as some Arabian bloodlines.

The Australian Pony stands between 11 and 14 hands high (112 to 142 cm). It strongly shows the refining Welsh Mountain Pony influence. The head is distinctly 'pony', full of show quality, with alert ears and large, dark eyes. The neck is relatively short but well-set and nicely rounded, the shoulders slope well back and the hindquarters are well rounded and proportioned. The tail should be well set on and gaily carried. The chest is deep, the barrel is round. The legs are short and strong, with flat, dense bone.

The overall impression is a very attractive pony showing quality. Most representatives on the breed are Grey, although they may be any color.

Happy hunting.

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