What a superb snippet indeed, the stills of decortated heavy horses are rare, but this short movie is pure gold, and depicts a working-class custom at its zenith. Soon after the rapid development of motor-traction saw these magnificent horses disappearing from our roads forever.
“The general invasion of mechanical transport has robbed us of so much that is of interest and comeliness on the road that it is well to treasure the little that is left and the remembrance of that which is already gone.”
Gertrude Jekyll.
