Tonight from BBC Wales:
The Day of the Working Horse
' Over and done', went the cry and across the country the ploughs the horses had drawn were soon gathering rust in the nettle-beds. But complete reliance on tractors was not in Griff James 's nature. He collected the discarded implements and ended up able to run his West Wales farm on Shire horsepower.
Ian Niall , the writer on country matters, suggests that the example shows a new day could dawn for the working horse.
