Pit Ponies - Cardiff (1938)

Cardiff, Wales. At a Welsh mine we see workers leading their pit ponies and horses out of the mine shaft and off on their way to a Pit Pony Show. The ponies gambol across a field before very brief shots of the horses being groomed. They are then led out of their field on the way to the show - we don’t see the show itself, just the build-up!
