SUMMARY:As Told By The Boys Who Fed Me Apples
DESCRIPTION:Discover the extraordinary true story of Sandy\, the only Australian war horse to return home from the First World War\, in this stirring theatrical performance. \n\nOf the 136\,000 horses sent overseas\, none were allowed to come back\, except Sandy.
