Wally was one of the truest and honest horses I ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was not just my horse, but my Mum’s and my Poppy’s as well. We were blessed that he was in our life. Wally had a way of reaching our hearts and no matter what he could always put a smile on our face. Over the last couple of years, he was my shoulder to lean on and was by my side as he helped me achieve my dreams. He was truly a once in a lifetime horse and our Wally will never be forgotten ❤️
