Becky Spackman posted about this photo: "I just love how the horses are timeless, they look 'right' in their normal harness whether in a period drama or out for exercise any day of the week. We have the same breeds, same training, same temperament, same harness...also humans in long coats...all horsey ladies know that long coats below the knees are the answer to surviving the weather no matter the time period!" Apple Taylor commented: "Perfect misty moors weather for atmosphere!" (photo: Richard Bowring) Photo: Richard Bowring
