query - song about a horse

Subject: query - song about a horse heard at Whitby FW
From: GUEST,Derek Schofield

apologies for this vague subject title. A friend heard a song at Whitby, and is keen to find the words and tune.
He remembers the following about the song ...
The main horseman/foreman would not allow any of his horses to be maltreated, but that after the farm was sold, he himself, having had to seek re-employment, was abused in his new employment; the other was that the refrain/chorus referred to the harness being left on the shelf (being no longer needed).
any suggestions greatfully received!

Hello, Derek. Did you already try a search of the Digital Tradition using the DT search? You can also do the same using the Filter on the homepage. I tried "horse" and got several songs listed each way. Perhaps one will be a match for you.

A possibility is 'Empty Echoes' by Alan Burb(r)idge, the subject of a previous thread, but not resulting in the words being posted.
