Saul David follows the story of hundreds of thousands of animals prepared in the West country for the front line during World War One.

He takes a ride with Jerry Watkins, a former captain in the Army Veterinary Coprs, which is responsible for the care of training of military animals today.

They look at how horses were used during the WW1 including how they were trained in the traditional arts of mounted attack.
