Warhorse: The Real Story
- Synopsis
- Documentary about the horses requisitioned from British farms and country estates during World War I to serve on the front line. Brough Scott tells the story his grandfather Jack Seely and his horse Warrior, who both survived the Somme and Passchendaele.
When the war ended, 85,000 of the oldest were sold for horse meat. Half a million were sold to French farmers to help rebuild the countryside. Only 60,000 made it back to Britain.
