In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, a breed of horse called a Waler was used extensively in developing a breed of horse called the Indianbred used for cavalry mounts in Asia by the British. From what country did Walers hail?
Australia. New South Wales, to be exact. You can still find Walers... there is a Waler Horse Breed Society of Australia which is dedicated to preserving the breed. They were used extensively in the opening ceremonies of the Sydney Olympics.
You can still also find Indianbreds. According to the Dorling Kindersley Guide to Horses, "they are noted for their equitable temperament and soundness of constitution."
