17th-Century Fishing – Horses That Worked the Land and Delivered Our Food

In this episode of *Old Country*, Jack Hargreaves takes us fishing — the 17th-century way. Using nothing but a pole and bait, we try to catch chub and roach just as Isaac Walton described in *The Compleat Angler*.
Then we turn from the river to the road — and to the fields — to meet the great horses that once powered Britain. Suffolk Punches, cobs, and Percherons… they worked the land, pulled the plough, delivered meat and milk, and brought in the harvest.
