Very funny when they had the farrier our as they said that if the horses didn't have shoes on their hooves would wear away to nothing  |

Which episode is the one with the dartmoor in? I thought I'd watched them all but haven't seen that one. Love it though, and tales from the green valley and victorian farm ;D

Really enjoyed the programme. It was good to see the Dartmoor pony being handled like that - quietly and sympathetically. Slight, momentary wince at Mike Branch's "feel superior" comment, but on the whole I was quite impressed. I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts.

yeh that was the only bit that made me wince too, but i was very much pleased to see the handling that 'Lad' was given, a positive thing for TV and portraying to horsey and non horsey people!
