Oral History – Suffolk Horse Society

In 2012, the Suffolk Horse Society was successful with its application to received a grant from the Heritage Lotteries Fund (HLF) as part of the nationwide “All Our Stories” project. Our project was named “Working Horses, Working Lives: sharing our stories of the Suffolk Punch”. We collected the stories and reminiscences of the men and women who looked after and worked with Suffolk Punch horses while they were still the main power source in agriculture and transport. We included younger horsemen who still earn their living with working horses.

See below for the recordings and transcripts of the conversations.
