Kelpie, or water kelpie, is the Scots name given to a shape-shifting water spirit inhabiting the lochs and pools of Scotland. It has usually been described as appearing as a horse, but is able to adopt human form. Some accounts state that the kelpie retains its hooves when appearing as a human, leading to its association with the Christian idea of Satan as alluded to by Robert Burns in his 1786 poem "Address to the Deil".
Almost every sizeable body of water in Scotland has an associated kelpie story, but the most extensively reported is that of Loch Ness. Parallels to the general Germanic neck and the Scandinavian bäckahäst have been observed. More widely, the wihwin of Central America and the Australian bunyip have been seen as counterparts. The origin of the belief in malevolent water horses has been proposed as originating in human sacrifices once made to appease gods associated with water, but narratives about the kelpie also served a practical purpose in keeping children away from dangerous stretches of water, and warning young women to be wary of handsome strangers.

Pilbara kelpie breeder Aticia Grey has been surprised by the huge success of a video she filmed from her quad bike while taking her dogs for a run at her home Glenflorrie Station.
The sound is a bit out of time from half way through so just ignore it. this is my sisters' kelpie caled Gizmo. she is showing off what she has done with him: sit, down, paw, roll over anthe foundations for him to jump on her back.As when he gets older she wants him to jump on her back as a trick for heel work to music. hope you enjoy! :) x

Jack Gleeson had an eye for a well-bred working dog
No ordinary pup would do the job
It was 1869 he'd seen more dogs than he could count
But none of them impressed him, none of them stood out
Until he met George Robertson in Casterton one day
Who showed Jack his Scottish dogs and Jack was blown away
He looked down at the litter
Who were yapping for their mum
Scrabbling round, carrying on all except for one
With her eyes as bright as a moonlit night
Her kindness shining through her sight
He could feel her warmth, and intelligence
Loyal was she, he'd found his Kelpie
He offered to buy her but Robertson refused
They only go to family this one's for my nephew
But the nephew had a liking for
Jack's strong and handsome colt
I'll swap my pup for your horse
But then you'll have to bolt
So they met down by the river
And the deal was done that night
It was the start of something special
Jack could feel it deep inside
Jack moved up north
And broke her in along the way
She was worth more than three good men
And proved it everyday
Then came time to join her
To a classy short haired dog
His ggod mate Mark Tully
Had a collie he named Moss
From Forbes to Yarrawonga
Kelpie's pups would show their guile
In the woolshed or the paddock
Wih a mob or at a trial
Jack Gleeson put his faith into a tiny little pup
He gave it all he had and he never gave up
And Australians across the land
Are forever in his debt
The Kelpie dog our best mate
