About thirty years ago Roly Brown and myself collected a number of songs in the Wiltshire village of Urchfont. We also recorded a dialect poem which I have been unable to trace. It tells of a farmer who lets out his land to grazing horses. The cost for this service depends on the length of the horses' tails! Short-tailed horses cost more, because they spend more energy keeping the flys at bay, and thus eat more grass! Does anyone know this poem, or have any idea who might have written it?
