Australia has always had a putation for having plenty of nsemen of the cattle-drafting id racecourse varieties but in e classical art of horsemanship ey have been supposed, until cently, to have no polish.

The Australian team’s vic ry at the 1960 Rome Olympics anged all that and has given eat stimulus to riding as an t and a sport.

Although the horse as a work rce even in the Outback, is a l ing institution, paradoxically ling as a hobby for young ople has never been more \pular—about 30,000 are mem rs of Australian pony clubs d other organisations and any more have their own > rses.
