Meet our two delightful horses:

Clyde is predominantly Percheron, a French breed known for its strength and gentleness. His silver coat is underlain with rocking-horse dapples.

In former times, teams of Percheron horses were used to bring the fish from the French coast to Paris and there is a Fish run re-enactment held from Boulogne every other year in the autumn.

Ottawa is pure-bred Comtois, another French breed – in fact the oldest breed of French heavy horse, rarely seen in this country. The Comtois is routinely used for logging in its native region, Franche-Comté. His flaxen mane and tail are in stunning contrast to his bright chestnut coat.

Again, his strength is phenomenal but he has a wonderfully placid temperament.
