Haystack Mountain Hermits – One Last Ride

July 31, 2021 by FAA Board

Family band Haystack Mountain Hermits were inspired to write an emotional ANZAC tribute ballad “The Horses Stay Behind (One Last Ride)”, from a great-grandfather’s World War 1 reflection and distress in leaving his horse behind.  This prompted a folk song, telling the tragic tale of the thousands of Australian horses left behind after that war ended.

You can hear the song and contribute to the making of a video below HERE for which over 500 hand-made purple poppies will be sent by people all over Australia to honour their Light Horse forebears. 

A worthy cause.

More info at the band’s Facebook’s Page
