In this popular video we see Roger and Cheryl Clark using working horses to run their farm in Suffolk. They show broadcaster and heavy horse enthusiast Paul Heiney the cycle of work that made up the farming year. We see ploughing, harrowing, drilling, rolling, planting potatoes and lifting potatoes, haymaking and stacking, as well as how the horses are harnessed and managed.
