If you're a lover of horses like I am, you may very well enjoy this documentary on Clydesdales. If you're a NetFlix subscriber, it is in their Documentary section.

I have had an affection for the draft horse from an early age, though I've never worked them. I have ridden much as a youngster, but haven't been horseback for probably 15 years. But the draft Breeds have always held a special place in my heart.

This short clip from the wonderful British series "All Creatures Great and Small" personifies one mans love for his large pulling animals;

The relevant clip is at the 44:20 mark

Damn.....got something in my eye....

1. I enjoyed it immensely a week or so ago

Netflix then prompted me to watch Martin Clunes' film on dogs, and it was just so-so.

As horse crazy as i was growing up, I never had the chance to be around them much.

Wonderful to see these magnificent animals doing what they were bred to do. The sea horses were something I had never seen before.

I'm not a horse person, but I do like Clydesdales.
