Let me know what you find, Peter H. I have known about this hoss for more years than I care to remember and have never come up with any definitive facts about it. The word on the streets of Tysoe village in the mid 1980s was that the medieval horse was recut after a prehistoric one, but I have never found anything in print to back this up.

Paul Newman devotes a chapter to it in his Lost Gods of Albion. I'll have a re-read and try and summarise
