This old black horse I’m riding – if you’ll notice what’s his brand, He wears the Crooked R, you see, none better in the land
– A Bushman’s Song (1892 Banjo Paterson) – describing the horses of Richard Rouse of Guntawang

In later years John Foyster achieved great success at
Guntawang Stud with STC Golden Slipper winner John’s Hope plus Planet Kingdom, King Apollo and Crown Jester. In recent years Guntawang has bred a handful of mares each season and bred and sold De Lightning Ridge , who broke Zephyr Bay’s 35 year old track record at Randwick when winning the 2010 Group 2 AJC Challenge Stakes .
