Every ANZAC Day we celebrate our heroes. Until now the story of the loyal horses who carried our troops in the desert war of WWI has remained untold. This is their story - and the story of Bess, the only horse to return to New Zealand from the Middle East. Bess and her companions overcame their fear, standing by their masters in the battlefield, in harsh desert conditions.
Brave Bess and the ANZAC Horses tells the tale of these valiant horses and the essential part they played in the war.
