The Englishwoman and the Horse

on BBC Two England

A kind of love story
A highly acclaimed film that celebrates the warmth, affection and unbridled enthusiasm that women of all ages, and from every back- ground, feel for their horses.
In Suffolk, a lady farrier shoes heavy horses. In Lancashire, a mounted policewoman is engulfed by football fans. A London messenger girl looks for a space to park. In Lincolnshire a church organist, knocked out on Easter Day, and thrown again on Easter Monday, climbs on for more. And in Hampshire, a housewife who has given way to temptation five times already wonders if this time she can resist. Narrator
