Series 3 Episode 13 - Poles, Piaffe & Prosecco: For the love of the heavy horses

There is something deeply humbling about standing with one of the heavy horses. For centuries they pulled ploughs to farm for us, delivered beer as dray horses and served in the military as drum horses amongst other roles. After such a history of service, its saddening to see many heavy breeds are either at risk or endangered and today we are looking at two breeds that are much loved by the equestrian population, but need that love to translate into something more to sustain their breed. Find out what you can do to save the Suffolk Punches and the Shire horses, and find out how versatile they are.Tania talks young horses and ‘wrong bend’, while Katie spurns this week’s drink! Find out more about Suffolk horses: https://suffolkhorsesociety.org.ukFind out more about Shire horses: https://www.shire-horse.org.ukWe need your training questions.
