What!! Horse Milk?
Horse milk farmer's mission to shift British tastes.
(BBC News, Somerset 30 August 2025).
A farmer who diversified into producing mare's milk says it has been hard competing against the cow's milk industry.
Frank Shellard breeds horses in Combe Hay near Bath, and together with his daughter Alison Smith, has been milking them for the last four years.
He says it has been an interesting journey trying to convince customers to use what he describes as a healthy alternative.
"The British are very hard to change. People treat a horse similar to a domesticated pet so it's hard for people to accept," he said.
