Horsepower an "incredible journey" says Clunes

Speaking to Horse and Hound magazine, actor Martin Clunes admitted that his new ITV1 series Horsepower has changed his attitude towards horses.

The two-part series follows Clunes as he explores the human relationship with horses and looks at the differing role of the horse around the world.

Best known for his part in Men Behaving Badly, Clunes doesn't perhaps immediately strike you as an animal person.

However the actor has a real passion for horses and has 12 at his farm in Dorset as well as a racehorse called Buffalo Stampede.

Recently made president of the Royal International Horse show at Hickstead, Clunes' new series really reflects the actors genuine love and admiration for the horse as he learns schooling techniques from Horse Whisperer Monty Roberts, visits wild Mustangs in Nevada and watches the famous Palio horse race in Italy.

After sharing a bottle of Bucks Fizz with Mr Clunes and entertaining his pony-mad children with our selection of pony equipment on our stall at Hickstead this year, it is clear to see that horses really are a huge part of the actor's life and a passion that he enjoys sharing with others.

You can watch the final part of Horsepower on ITV1 this sunday at 9pm.
