Horses' New Year's Dinners
Retired nags enjoy a well-earned New Year's feed at the Cricklewood Home of Rest for Horses.
Overview
There's no sign of any New Year's diets or detoxes going on at the Cricklewood Home of Rest for Horses. Instead, the retired nags - former London cab horses and military steeds, are treated to a well-earned feed by a well-to-do looking crowd (and a soldier in uniform). The film singles out Marlborough, the old charger of the late Lord Wolseley, a renowned Victorian war hero.
