THE LAST PARADE - A.B.'Banjo' Paterson.

With never a sound of trumpet,
With never a flag displayed,
The last of the old campaigners
Lined up for the last parade.

Weary they were and battered,
Shoeless, and knocked about;
From under their ragged forelocks
Their hungry eyes looked out.

And they watched as the old commander
Read out to the cheering men
The Nation's thanks, and the orders
To carry them home again.

And the last of the old campaigners,
Sinewy, lean, and spare -
He spoke for his hungry comrades:
"Have we not done our share?

"Starving and tired and thirsty
We limped on the blazing plain;
And after a long night's picket
You saddled us up again.

"We froze on the wind-swept kopjes
When the frost lay snowy-white,
Never a halt in the daytime,
Never a rest at night!

"We knew when the rifles rattled
From the hillside bare and brown,
And over our weary shoulders
We felt warm blood run down,

"As we turned for the stretching gallop,
Crushed to the earth with weight;
But we carried our riders through it -
Sometimes, perhaps, too late.

"Steel! We were steel to stand it -
We that have lasted through,
We that are old campaigners,
Pitiful, poor, and few.

"Over the sea you brought us,
Over the leagues of foam:
Now we have served you fairly
Will you not take us home?

"Home to the Hunter River,
To the flats where the lucerne grows;
Home where the Murrumbidgee
Runs white with the melted snows.
"This is a small thing, surely!

Will not you give command
That the last of the old campaigners
Go back to their native land?"
They looked at the grim commander,

But never a sign he made.
"Dismiss!" and the old campaigners
Moved off from the last parade.

➡️ If you see someone do something with an equid, and you feel a little uncomfortable watching, 🌟YOU ARE RIGHT🌟.

Don’t let anyone change your heart with “reasonable” words.

People can make us believe anything with “reasonable” words, especially if they are older than us or we perceive that they have more experience than us, but your heart knows the truth.

People will tell you that you *have* to treat equids a certain way because they’re so big and they’re “dangerous”. They’ll tell you that you *have* to treat them this way because that’s how they treat each other and that’s what they understand.

None of that’s true. Push away the they’ll try to make you feel. Deny the they’ll try to make you follow. Go with what your tells you. Your heart is right ❤️.

Bought a lovely second hand childs stock saddle last year and here is an old photo of where it was made.

usually have to scout about in old newspapers for W.A. photos as their library/archives has never had enough funding to put many photos online. South Australia has had a couple of good state govts that funded this well, so is by far the best represented online. Volunteers do a lot too but state funds for this would be good in W.A. So much history unseen. This is a great photo they could use too.
