A pint of beer, a giddy-up and slap on the bum before being sent on holiday. It sounds like the perfect way to start a well-earned vacation – and that’s just what this is for shire horses Monty, Max and Prince.
The trio are among the last remaining working shires working in the UK brewing industry and work 50 weeks of the year delivering beer to pubs around the Wadworth Brewery in Devizes, Wiltshire.

Great post. Nice and light and fun for the weekend :)
I’ll raise my glass to that!
Cheers!
Cheers indeed!
They’re a sight for sore eyes (and doesn’t he look a bit like Bullwinkle as he snoggles that beer?)! Thanks for this.
Thank you Cynthia. It is wonderful to see the joy of these big, hard-working horses run free and kick up their heels. And a brew too. How good is that!
Very nice post, i love these big wonderful horses.
GOOD FOR THEM, makes my heart sing (for a change). Most of our animal news is not nearly this happy. God bless
I think it’s particularly touching too that a large crowd always turns out to cheer them on when they are released to rest and frolic. I was very happy to post this too. A very welcome change from all the doom and gloom we usually see here.
While I just don’t believe in giving any horse ale, I just don’t know what on earth got into that stallion!
They love it as you can see. And it’s good for them. Besides, they’re on vacation!
Just being the Beautiful Horses they are , wow a brew too, woooooo hoooo !!!
