HORSES AT THE END OF WWI Captain Adele Catts, former curator of the 2nd/14th Light Horse Regiment (Queensland) #animalsatwar #animalmemorialseries MYTH: One of the most common myths about the Australian Light Horse is that they shot all of their horses at the end of WWI. FACT: There were 122,000 horses exported from Australia during WWI. At the end of 1918, 11,037 were still in use with the Australian Light Horse units in the Middle East. These were classified by age and condition into four groups. Those not fit for further use (2,853) were destroyed. Their manes and tails were shorn as horse hair could be sold and their shoes removed. The remainder were sold to the British Army, the Indian Army and the Finnish Army. Six hundred (600) mares were sent to England for breeding purposes. Only 250 were allegedly destroyed by the rider without permission for they feared the horses would be mistreated if sold locally. Only one horse returned home from WWI – “Sandy” owned by Major General William Bridges, Commander of the Australian 1st Division, who died of wounds sustained at Gallipoli. Sandy’s head is now mounted on display at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. It was for quarantine reasons that wartime animals could not be brought home. Similarly, by the end of WWII there were 1,000s of carrier pigeons in New Guinea. Because there were no food grains available for them there, the birds were put down. A few bodies were returned for display at the Australian War Memorial. The tracker dogs used in Vietnam were also not allowed to return to Australia thus suitable homes were found for all of them in Vietnam. #ww1 #ww2 #vietnamwar #animals #carrierpigeons #birds #horses #australianhistory #militaryhistory #theyservedtoo #australia #australiangovernment #regionalaustralia #westernaustralia #lighthorse #military #localgovernment #lestweforget

Ever notice how upscale hotels and homes create a captivating outdoor atmosphere with their use of landscape lighting? Knowing that potential buyers often do nighttime drive-bys, one of my sellers decided to re-create this vibe at his home before we listed... In the front yard, he went all out – upgrading their porch lights, installing landscape path lights, and illuminating several trees. The result? Absolute elegance. They proved that lighting can be a game-changer when it comes to curb appeal. Making your home look stunning during the day is one thing, but having it shine at night is a whole new level. Interested in chatting about how you can elevate your curb appeal? Send me a message, and let's talk about making your property stand out, day AND night. #nukeknowsvegas #homeselling #livinginlasvegas #lasvegasrealestateagent #realestatetip #househunters #homesellers #buyingahome #investmentproperty #realestategoals #veteran #military #realtorlife #lasvegasrealestate #goals #firsttimehomebuyer #homesforheroes #realtortips #lasvegas #northlasvegas #henderson #lasvegasnevada #lasvegassmallbusiness #lasvegashomes #realestatetips #lasvegaslocals #movinginvegas

When you put together a backyard area as nice as this, you better use it on a regular basis! What you might not notice right off the bat is all of the lighting making this backyard look good. Don't forget to light up your backyard for both safety and beauty. XO, Elle Army #psir #charlotterealtor #sothebysinternationalrealty #charlottehomes #luxuryhomes #heartandhome

Fun facts about yachts ⛵ The term "yacht" traces its roots back to the Dutch word "jacht", which means "hunt". Originally, yachts served as fast-paced sailing ships deployed by the Dutch Navy to chase down pirates and other criminals. In the photo below you can see an 18th-century Dutch jacht! #yachts #yachting

Ocean View Stables understands the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of our nation’s military veterans. Co-owner, Zachary Leyden, is a war veteran who, after returning from service in Afghanistan, faced his own battles on home soil. As he grappled with the realities of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), he rediscovered a source of healing – horses. In the company of these noble animals, Zachary found solace, connection, and therapy. The quiet strength of the horses, their unwavering loyalty, and their intuitive response to human emotions helped him navigate his journey to recovery. The transformation was profound and life-affirming. It was a kind of therapy that transcended words – a healing bond formed in the tranquility of the stables and the freedom of the open trail. Having experienced the therapeutic wonders of horsemanship first-hand, he made a decision. He wanted to extend this opportunity to his brothers and sisters who had also served. And so, the Veterans Ride Free program was born. At Ocean View Stables, all veterans ride for free. It is their way of giving back to those who have given so much for our country. Tune in to hear Zachary Leyden’s thoughts on: 🐴 How did you build your horse business? 🐴 Why do you allow military veterans to ride for free? 🐴 How does horsemanship help people with their leadership skills? 🐴 What is natural horsemanship and how is it different from the historic ways of training a horse? 🐴 How do you balance building businesses, school, and family? 🐴 And much, much more! https://buff.ly/49dIujF
