framing suggestion:
The Suffolk Punch is becoming a rare sight even in Suffolk these days, and is now officially an
endangered species. There is a stud, the Suffolk Punch Trust, at Hollesley Bay in Suffolk that
rears them, trains them and acts as an information and visitor centre (for us, not the horses).
The gelding here, ‘Oaken’ is over 16 hands high, a beautiful gentle creature that is often seen
at shows in full harness. Suffolk Punches were once one of the main work-horses of the English
countryside and have been a major contributor to the landscape and our social history. Within
my own living (some would dispute that) memory, here, and even in London, Suffolk Punches
were commonly seen as dray horses for local breweries, right up to the 1980s. Tannington
Hall, a few miles from Laxfield, used to harness a Suffolk Punch for evening trips to the Low
House - one of the best pubs in Suffolk - pulling a carriage for four. It was a very pleasant way
of avoiding the breathalyser, and it was said that if the driver himself fell foul of the foaming
nut-brown elixir, the horse knew its own way home. Alas those days are now gone, and we felt
privileged to experience them before they ended.
