The Chalk Horses

(two photos)

"Along we saw two of the Chalk Horses
When farmers wanted to show their wealth they paid someone to carve the horses into the ground
- which at the top is chalk so they show up white
It was done on the side of a hill and they look like huge white paintings on a green background
One of them was 2000 years old
but the ones that we saw were 1780 and 1812 - still pretty bloody old!"
