GUEST,Scowie Lyr Add: The Last Clydesdales (Archie Webster) (50) RE: Lyr Add: Last of the Clydesdales (Archie Webster) 20 Jan 11


Well that didn't work first time around!
A note of interest to all on this topic, which I have really enjoyed, there is an account of the Society of the Horseman's Word in George Ewart Evans book "The Horse in the Furrow" it includes the initiation oath and even the "Word"
It is a facinating account and very easily readable.
As a lad I worked with the Horses on my Grandfathers farm on the Pennine foothills of Lancashire, alas they went soon after.
I still love Heavy Horses of all denominations, the ones I had Experience of were of course Shires, I still attend Ploughing Matches regularly, they are country entertainment at its finest.
Best Regards to all,
Scowie.
