On 12 July, Holly Morris of DC's Fox 5 came out to Leighton Farm (TPR's primary benefactor) and did a whole series of stories on the work that Leighton Farm and TPR do on a daily basis.  The videos highlight the importance of longeing; a brief demonstration by Art (one of our magnificent ferriers) what the difference between the shoes of a racehorse and the shoes of a 'horse of leisure', and finally the third is of Elizabeth Madlener, Olympian and Grand Prix dressage rider who works extensively with Leighton Farm and TPR providing a brief insight into her brilliant mind.
