Driving Horses to the Stock-Yard, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Driving Horses to the Stock-Yard, 1850. British settlers in Australia. The horses are hardy, and perform long, nay surprising journeys, during which they are not supplied with any provender, except what they pick up when turned out to grass, after the day's labour is over...The horses are sure-footed, which is very lucky, for they are frequently obliged, when after cattle, to gallop up and down most dangerous places, amongst stones, rocks and fallen timber, literally at full speed...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

Driving Horses to the Stock-Yard, 1850
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and intriguing engraving that captures the raw energy and determination of early Australian settlers as they round up cattle using horses. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a glimpse into the rugged and challenging life of rural Australia during the Victorian era. The scene depicts a group of horsemen, dressed in the typical attire of the time, driving a herd of cattle towards a stockyard. The horses, too, are shown in all their glory, their muscles taut and their eyes filled with focus as they lead the charge. The landscape around them is rough and untamed, with rocks, stones, and fallen timber scattered about, adding to the sense of danger and excitement. The caption accompanying the image notes that the horses were hardy animals, capable of performing long journeys without any provender, other than what they could find when turned out to graze. Their sure-footedness was essential, as they frequently had to gallop up and down treacherous terrain in pursuit of cattle. The settlers, too, were described as sure-footed, as they navigated the outback's challenges with grit and determination. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the early Australian settlers, who faced numerous challenges in establishing livestock farming in a new and unfamiliar land. It is a reminder of the importance of horses in rural life and the role they played in the development of agriculture in Australia during the 19th century. Overall, "Driving Horses to the Stock-Yard, 1850" is a captivating and evocative snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of the early settlers and their daily struggles and triumphs.
