Martin Clunes: My Travels and Other Animals: Horses in History

SYNOPSIS

Martin Clunes explores horses in history, from ancient cave paintings in France to the newest racecourse in Dubai. Martin travels high into the Pyrenees mountains, where there is a record of the horse drawn on the walls of the Niaux Cave from 14,000 years ago; a hundred years ago fishermen used horses to trawl the sea for shrimps and Martin spends a day fishing with these last European horse fishermen (now protected by UNESCO).
