    Thanks, I'll make a note to watch it.
  • My grandfather was one of the boys who looked after the horses out there.

    It'll break your heart.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Yes I know they were treated appallingly and
    got left over there after the war most probably ended up as meat.

    I'm not sure if I want to watch this documentary. The thought of what went on horrifies me. It can't be helped or changed now, it's part of history, and attitudes to animal welfare in this country have moved on somewhat.

    I know it will make me cry too as I love horses and used to have my own many years ago.
