Horses’ New Year’s Feast (1913)

We Say:
What better way to start the New Year than remember our equine friends?

BFI Say:
The occupants of the famous Horses’ Home of Rest enjoy a special feed for New Year. Founded in 1886, the Home was based at Westcroft Farm, Cricklewood, north-west London when this item from the popular Topical Budget bi-weekly newsreel was released on 4 January 1913. It moved twice thereafter, to Boreham Wood, Hertfordshire from 1933-75, and finally to Speen Farm in the Chilterns, Buckinghamshire, where it remains in operation to this day. Its website is at www.horsetrust.org.uk/
