    I saw it on PBS maybe several months ago. It was quite good, but wished it had been more detailed and much much longer. Rare to see good quality horse programming at all. I would not mind seeing it again.

    You mean Doc Martin? I love the series. Are we talking the same Martin Clunes??

    Same Martin Clunes, but he did a documentary about horses.

    Here's part one.

    Weren't there just two episodes (Horse Power, I mean, not Doc Martin)? I only saw two, unless that's all our local pubic broadcaster showed.

    I did enjoy it, and love his enthusiasm about all things horse. I'm also a big fan of Doc Martin.

    Wow. I'm working my way through Doc Martin and love it and it's SO bizarre to see Martin smile or be happy about anything! (Sort of like hearing House speak with an English accent!)

    I so don't agree with the race horse trainer that horses run from fear. Any good athlete loves what they do, and that dude clearly doesn't know horses if he thinks they're not competitive.

    Yes the documentary was two parts, those are broken into smaller bits on YouTube so you don't have to wait ages for them to load.

    I saw it on RFD-tv. I'm a fan of Doc Martin so seeing him smile and being humble was a surprise. Loved the seeing the Queen's horses!
