A century ago, power on farms was provided by five
million heavy horses. They were the pride of rural
Britain and the men who worked with them were the elite
among farm workers. But today heavy horses are almost a
thing of the past. They might be seen in all their glory
at agricultural shows decked in glistening harnesses and
paraded around the main ring but generally they are a
distant memory. Except for one place: Sillywrea Farm in
Northumberland, the last farm in Britain to be worked
solely by horses. ''The Last Horsemen'' is the inspiring
story of John Dodd and his family who have lived on
Sillywrea for more than 150 years and for all that time,
horses have been the only source of power. Telling the
inspirational story of a year in the life of John Dodd,
his family and the farm, this book compellingly evokes
the beauty of the countryside. With a farming industry
that seems to lurch from crisis to crisis, learning from
people who have chosen an alternative way of life
becomes ever more important. ''The Last Horsemen'' is a
truly inspirational opportunity to view, first hand,
scenes rarely played out in Britain's countryside in the
twenty-first century. |
