Martin Clunes Horse Power Documentary.
Following on from the Youtube documentary I reserached I went on to look at HorsePower by Martin Clunes He travels the world to unlock the secrets of man’s partnership with horses in Horsepower, a new documentary series for ITV1. His journey takes him from remotest Mongolia to the deserts of Arabia; to see the enigmatic wild Mustangs in Nevada, and watch the thrills and spills of rodeo in Las Vegas. Martin is a special guest at the world’s most glamorous and lavish racing event in Dubai, and watches the colourful Palio horse race in Italy, which dates back to the 1200’s. Martin unravels the story of how man and horse first got together, what the horse has done for us through the ages, and what the horse still means to us today.
He says “I wanted to find out how this animal became so important to us. How did we manage to tame such a huge, fearful prey animal and make it both our servant and our friend,”
The series is made for ITV1 by ITV Studios and Buffalo Pictures.
You can now also buy the series on DVD.
