Retiring National Trust horses' £25k replacements appeal

Two shire horses set to retire after 10 years service at a National Trust site have launched a £25,000 fundraising campaign to fund their replacements.

Jerry and Claire have been involved in tours, pulled wedding carriages and dragged logs around Wrexham's 18th century country house Erddig.

To celebrate retirement, the pair aged 19 and 15, will visit sites around Wales as part of a farewell tour.

They will visit Plas Newydd, Penrhyn Castle, Chirk Castle and Powis Castle.
