This program explores some historical and modern day work roles for horses. Four different horses are observed working with their handlers. The programs look at the physical and mental characteristics of horses that help them in their work and the way handlers value their horses and communicate with them.Through the use of historic footage and photos the program looks at life before cars and shows why some ways of using working horses have changed from the past to the present day and that horses are still better than machines for some forms of work.The program also explains and demonstrates some basic safety rules that should be observed when around horses.The lives of working animals are explored in these two episodes.
