I only managed to watch half of it but recorded the rest. What a lovely programme - I have very much enjoyed his programmes about dogs as well. I agree with Tegan - he certainly is turning into another national treasure and seems a really interesting and calm, kind personality. Fascinating. smile

Darn it; forgot the programme was on. Agree about Martin Clunes..he's turning into a national treasure.

I remember watching Martin Clunes on a programme about horse whispering for people with mental health problems. He admitted to suffering himself and was moved to tears. He seems a lovely gentle chap.

beautiful, gripping programme. Let's have more.

It's a treat, Deeda. The animals were the stars and not the celeb presenter which makes a change. Full marks to Martin Clunes.

And I loved the naughty Jack Russells.

Have got this recorded and I'm looking forward to watching it.

When ex dh and I used to live in Windsor Castle we had the pleasure and priviledge of getting to know a drum horse in training!

As this programme started and reference was made to horses pulling dray carts, ploughing etc, I remarked to Mr P that it would be good if they included drum horses, and lo and behold they did!

Absolutely lovely programme. My grandchildren adore horses and spend almost all of their time outside school at the stables. They have been riding from 6 months old. If do wish I could ride .

I couldn't put it any better merlot. I'm loving this programme.

I'm loving this. Nice to see heavy horses being worked and Martin Clunes is no show off around animals.
