This week, Katie and Tania delve deeper into the story behind Michael Morpurgo and the National Theatre's WAR HORSE, and this week, we get real.

Join us as we talk with Belinda Day, Senior Curator at the National Army Museum, about the REAL war horses, how they were kept and how high the standards of care were. Can you imaging managing a troop of horses in a battlefield? Neither could we! Find out how they did it.

Hop over to YouTube and subscribe to our channel (Poles, Piaffe and Prosecco Podcast) to see the World War One 'horse furniture' and equipment that Belinda showed us and have a peek behind the scenes at the National Army Museum stores.

Next week, we talk with Ted Heath and Glynn Jones about the modern cavalry horses and their lives. Don't miss it!
