Life for Doc Martin star Martin Clunes’ two young Clydesdale horses couldn’t be better. Well-fed and adored, each happy day rolls sublimely into the next. But what Ronnie and Bruce don’t yet know is that Martin has a plan. And that one day soon, they’re going to be working hard for their supper.
Fifty years ago, it seemed that the great age of the working horse was over but today, in locations all over the world, these wonderful creatures are proving their value all over again. In forests and on farms… vineyards and city centres... working horses are back in harness; requiring no filthy diesel products to gain propulsion and leaving no poison in their wake.
We follow Martin as he prepares to train Ronnie and Bruce for work on his farm, travelling to Europe and America to investigate the remarkable comeback of the world’s working horses.
