Did you know that Glenthorne was owned by the Australian Army for the twenty five years spanning the two world wars?
During this period Glenthorne was the No. 9 Remount Depot and the men stationed at Glenthorne broke, rode and trained horses for the cavalry, the Light Horse brigade and for transporting military supplies including artillery
Approximately 17,000 horses were shipped overseas from South Australia and the majority came from the No. 9 Remount Depot.
Historic photographs, newspaper articles will be on display; join a walking tour of Glenthorne’s historic sites and listen to an illustrated talk about the No. 9 Remount Depot.
