When The Australian Light horse transferred to Gallipoli from Egypt the horses had to be left behind.
When news of the Gallipoli landings and the subsequent stalemate arrived in Egypt many of the Light Horsemen (probably all of them) actually volunteered to leave their horses behind so they could go and join the fight. Which was a big deal because they loved their horses. Many men brought their own horse along when they came to enlist and man and horse joined up together.
The Light Horse were remounted after the Gallipoli campaign but true to form for the Army it seems there was not much thought given to giving troopers back their original horse. I've heard stories of a lot of searching and horse trading going on for a bloke to be reunited with his mate.
