The palimino? Yes very nice horse agreed.

I read he hated being mean to the dogs on his Doc. Martin show

He does! Some horses have a sense of humor and fun that lasts a lifetime.

Sicuramente martin clunes ha un animo buono,ama gli

Animali

I think it was for multiple reason, one being to give everyone a break, especially Martin Clunes who had multiple filming commitments this year. Another was apparently land / parking issues, as supposedly the new owner of some of the land used for parking wasn't happy about it continuing in its current format. Hopefully though it will return in August 2020.

Farming with draft horses is alive and well in the U.S. As city dwellers move to the country to give it a go at homesteading a draft horse is a must if you are going totally green.

Dana , the bribe attempt was FANTASTIC ! ;))))

You mean the Palomino? Also, you clearly know little about horses.

@@brynneweeks986 you mean the Chesnut. I didn't spell it wrong either as that's the true spelling of the colour of a Suffolk punch. Clearly it's you that needs educating about horses before trying to mock others!

@@brynneweeks986 What a nasty stuck up remark ,to many in the horse sector are bitchy and arrogant,stupid fool.

It was definitely Bruce!

@@cjhuk thanks for the answers. Was Mr Clunes the host ?

Yes, in a sense, a lot of it is a free roaming type of fair, with rides and stalls, etc, but some of the dog shows Martin would host and present the prizes himself, whereas others were hosted by different people.

I would have thought it was due to the Pandemic if you're talking about 2020

Hi @misstorina3, do you mean "Wadebridge"? If so, it's a town about 20 minutes South from Port Isaac (Port Wenn), and unlike the fictional village name of Port Wenn used in Doc Martin, the town of Wadebridge is a real place :) Wadebridge on Google Maps: goo.gl/maps/uhavSJhFe9Qb53fi9

you LOVE it...? horses need their tail in its natural form, they hardly enjoy being pulled on it for hours to make this... ehh... haircut? not to mention it looks ridiculous and ugly

Frances Norred that horse doesn’t need Clunes, he is gorgeous

Frances Norred No Frances. His horse clearly the best in his class. 😀

No. His horse is beautiful.

Should there have been any favouritism, I'd say it's because he is the president of the BHS.

No, I don't think so. The second I saw his horse walk in the ring, I thought he was magnificent. I know nothing of the standards for draught horses / heavy horses and only a very little about Thoroughbreds. In my *uneducated* opinion, his horse had the best conformation ... short straight back, well-developed shoulder in proportion to powerful hindquarters, balanced height/leg length, beautiful arched neck, intelligent face, some spirit, and when in motion...he was lovely. And of course, Martin Clunes would likely have more financial resources to put towards breeding or purchasing horses than most, if not all of his competition.

it does. and it's really bad for the horses. I feel really sorry for those who had their cut off with flesh and bone. that should be illegal (and probably is). the morons who did this should have their hands cut off or at least tied and be left naked with lots if mosquitos.

AvionicsGuru so the judge can see the rear muscular clearly.

@@constancecondit4349 It still doesn't make it right just so a judge can see a bit of muscle, what a load of crap he or she could lift the tail. Chinese kids used to have their feet bound too !, do you support that as well ?.

Traditionally tails were docked to prevent them from being caught and injured in harness or mechanical equipment.

yeah those people must be really sick... they actually harm the horses too
