An original song inspired by an extraordinary moment at the Barellan Good Old Days Festival.
In 2025, I travelled from Tasmania to the Barellan Good Old Days Festival in New South Wales and stood watching an extraordinary sight — a team of 62 heavy horses pulling together as one.
It was powerful, emotional and almost impossible to put into words.
When I returned home, I began writing about what I had seen and felt. Those words became 62 Horses, 62 Hearts.
The song grew from my original words, memories and creative concept, with AI-assisted music generation helping me bring the story to life.
For me, it is not simply a song about horses.
It is about partnership.
Strength.
Trust.
History.
And the remarkable connection between people, animals and the traditions that shaped rural Australia.
The song was first shared with the Barellan community following the festival and received an extraordinarily warm response. It has since continued to find its own life alongside the story of the magnificent working horses that inspired it.
I hope when you listen, you can hear a little of what I felt standing there watching those 62 horses move together.
62 horses.
62 hearts.
Moving as one.
