A genuine World War I Light Horse saddle now has pride of place in Heritage House’s military museum at Yarraman, thanks to a generous donation.<\/p>\n

Yarraman and District Historical Society president Helene Johnson said the saddle had been donated by the 5th Light Horse Regiment, Gympie Troop.<\/p>\n

Members of the association visited Heritage House last Thursday to hand over the saddle and halter, bridle and bit and some uniform pieces.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Models of a Light Horseman and his mount have been a centrepiece of the museum’s display for many years.<\/p>\n

But now, thanks to the Gympie Troop, they are even more historically accurate.<\/p>\n

“This happy, well-informed group replaced the existing horse’s tack and added a few little – but needed – extras to our Light Horseman’s uniform,” Heritage House volunteer Jocelyn Hansen said.<\/p>\n

The military museum has been a part of Heritage House for decades, but was expanded in 2015.<\/p>\n
