Vollrath Hanoverians - for world-class bloodlines and performance

Steven Spielberg's epic "War Horse" has thrown the spotlight on the military service of horses. Marcus Wilson spent a year researching the role of New Zealand horses who served in overseas conflicts. The story he unearthed is harrowing.

Gone are the days when horses used to hang out in paddocks, eat grass and enter an occasional competition.

It's time to break out the tinsel and eggnog to celebrate the season with Horsetalk's 2011 Christmas story!
