Weylands Farm is in Constable country,on the Suffolk/Essex border. There is no other farm like it and there may never be again,for its 117 acres are worked entirely by Suffolk Punch horses.Roger and Cheryl Clark,who run the farm,are pre-eminent in the world of heavy horse and are dedicated to the Suffolk Punch.Cheryl's tiny stature belies her immense strength,for she not only breaks and trains these huge animals, but drives the teams behind the ploughs.For a year Paul Heiney worked one day a week at Weylands,doing every job he was allowed to do - ploughing,harrowing,sowing and reaping,as well as helping at the horse shows where the Clark's horses have won every major cup and award.He learned about the horses,their training,their temperaments and the way they work.The resulting book is a fascinating and thought-provoking insight into a rural era that is almost gone.It is a book for those with a romantic view of the countryside who would like to test their vision against the real sweat,muck and disappointment of farming; and,of course,a book for lovers of horses and all things rural. Since April 2013,and again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template, altering its prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered its qualifying compensation rates too! So,please contact rpaxtonden@blueyonder.co.uk ,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!
