The military consultant for the feature film ‘War Horse’ - directed by Steven Spielberg – will speak at the Manx Museum this evening (Friday).
Andrew Robertshaw will present a lecture entitled 'The Real War Horses': at seven thirty.

That included horses taken from Douglas Corporation and the Steam Packet Company.
Andrew says the Isle of Man has quite an unusual case with a horse called Imp:
