- Commentary: Near Lingfield, in Surrey, is Cherry Tree Farm. It is the end of the road for many old horses. The sick and the lame find it a resting place too. Above all - it is a place where a horse can feel safe! For hundreds of years, men have found shelter at Cherry Tree Farm. Now it shelters man’s four-footed friend. The safety it gives is the reward of a forty-year fight by fair-minded men and women - devoted to the protection of worn-out horses. Cherry’s path might have ended in a continental slaughter-house, had it not been for this home where she can recover her health. Soon, she’ll be fit for the saddle again - and old-timer "Bondsman" approves. Not surprising, in fact, that Britain’s most beloved horseman approves too. Naming the farm’s new loose-boxes is Gordon Richard’s most cherished annual event. Race-horses - cart horses - they’re all welcome at Cherry Tree Farm, where they find the thing they need most - protection!
