Jules and the retiring police horses.
On this week’s Countryfile, Jules Hudson visits The Horse Trust at Princes Risborough, where former workhorses spend their retirement. Jules’ visit coincides with the arrival of four horses from Greater Manchester Police. They’ll now spend a happy retirement in the country, but it’s still hard for some of their owners to let go.
Jules Hudson is with The Horses Trust as they celebrate their 125th anniversary and take custody of four retired police horses from Greater Manchester Police. Ellie also spends time with one of the country's last hand-made brick makers as he turns the red clay of the Chilterns into bespoke bricks.
John Craven is in Lancashire investigating 'fracking' - a highly controversial method of getting natural gas from the ground. Adam follows his crop of wheat from field to mill to bakery, and Helen Skelton visits one of the last of the old shepherds meets, the Wasdale Show.
