Saturday's Peninsula Breakfast Briefing
Saturday's interesting fact:
Suffolk Punch horses do not wear shoes. Standing between 15 to 17 hands high and are one of only four English breeds of heavy horse bred to allow for less invasive weight distribution on the earth compared to the heavy logging machinery generically used for moving timber. They are ideal for use in returning woodland to native trees, which will also help resilience to climate change and disease.
