Episode 3

The horses fall out over literary matters. An epistolary equine love story starring Stephen Fry and Daniel Rigby. From January 2014.

Artistic differences threaten to destroy our heroes' love for each-other as both attempt to find fame as writers.

But is the literary horse public ready for Marengo's experimental, Proustian and incredibly long exploration of what it is to be a horse?

Or is there more of a market for Copenhagen's rather racier "Fifty Shades of Hay"?

Continuing the world's first epistolary equine love story.

Napoleon's horse Marengo and Wellington's horse Copenhagen are deeply in love but sundered by history.
