Shires Holiday

Every year the shire horses at Wadworth Brewery Centre are let off on a 2 week holiday after spending the rest of the year delivering beer to restaurants and pubs around the area. The horses are led to the car park outside The Raven and are given a pint of beer each. The three shires are Max, Monty and Prince. They are then lead down to the field where they are released. The shires know when they are going on holiday as the horse men have to calm them down before they even get to the field. They have pictures taken for the newspaper and then are let off. A lot of people come down for this occasion, the horses jump around the field and run and go wild. They love it. Considering they are very heavy horses, each the height of around 17-18 hands, you would be surprised at how fast they run around. It's such an incredible sight knowing they won't be doing any work for two weeks and how they just frolic in the fields. Later on in the day they are lead to another field so they can be watched and fed. They are such beautiful horses. 

After we watched the horses, me and my family went to Weatherspoons pub and had a lovely meal. It's very inexpensive in there and they have lovely food. (Highly recommended!) I had a chicken caesar salad, which was the best salad I've ever had, and I've never ate so many greens in my life! Haha.. But it was delicious. 

The pub had an old fashioned feel to it, as they have bookshelves filled up with very old books all on the walls. It gave it a very nice atmosphere. 

I hope this blog post was interesting and I'll post again soon..
