Product Description
Galloper Jack Seely and his horse Warrior were one of the most remarkable teams in history. The man: a famed adventurer, Cabinet Minister and close friend of Winston Churchill, who led the Canadian Cavalry in a crucial charge that helped save the Allied cause in March 1918. The horse: a uniquely brave and talented thoroughbred which Seely bred on the Isle of Wight, took to France in August 1914 and was still riding on that fateful day towards the end of the war. In this film Galloper Jack s grandson award winning journalist and broadcaster Brough Scott takes to the saddle to explore the past. Brough s life has included 10 years as a steeplechase jockey, 30 years as main presenter of Channel 4 Racing and a continuing role in racing. But this is the project of which he is most proud. Watch it and see why.

A truly amazing story not only about Warrior but also about his rider 'Jack Seeley'. I'd seen some of the footage on the Channel 4 documentary and the presenter, Brough Scott, brings to life a story that Britons of my age (all ages really) should be proud of. He was known as 'The Horse the Germans Couldn't Kill' and how he survived the war is a miracle in itself.

Having taken my wife and children to the cinema to see the film War Horse a few weeks ago, we all left fascinated to know the truth behind such an inspirational story.
This documentary is thoroughly enjoyable and is definitely worth purchasing.
We are given a detailed insight into the beautiful relationship that developed between man and horse during wartime.
The footage is excellent and is filled with interesting facts that I did not previously know.
