Herbert Stanley Dunn, born 1891, was a blacksmith and breeder of Waler horses in NSW in the early 1900's. When war broke out, he enlisted in the Australian Imperial Forces and sailed to Egypt with his waler COLONIAL KING. Together they rode the Charge of Beersheba, and together they survived. Herbert Dunn survived the war, and returned to Australia to instill in his family a love and respect for the Waler horse.

100 years later, a great-granddaughter of Herbert Dunn read about the legend of the Australian Waler Horse in the charge of Beersheba, and determined to make them a part of her life. And so began the story of CHERRABUN STUD.
