Hillside Shire Horse Sanctuary (June 2009)

For more information about Hillside, please see their website: http://www.hillside.org.uk/

The Hillside Shire Horse Sanctuary in West Runton is well worth a visit. There's something mystical about the shire horses. There are lots of other animals to see too, and it's for a great cause as most of them were rescued from some kind of cruelty, or neglect.

It is a bit of a wake up call seeing how animals can be mis-treated in order to bring us cheap food. Without being at all in your face, it may make you question your eating habits, and that can only be a good thing. (I say that as a meat eater)

I wish there were more Hillside's in the world.

An excellent well-made video with some great footage of these wonderful animals. I'm also a lover of Shires and visted Hillside back in 2008 whilst on holiday in Norfolk. As you say - a truly worthy cause.

I did like the music too, if a little sombre. Could you say who/what it is please?

Many thanks.

Thanks for your comments. The music is 'Silencium - Music of Inner Peace: XII' by Andrew Lucas (and others)
