Episode 2
Equine love is tested. Marengo faces being put to stud, whilst Copenhagen discovers literature. Stars Stephen Fry. From 2014.
More recently-discovered, passionate letters between Napoleon Bonaparte's mount, Marengo and the Duke of Wellington's Copenhagen.
Still cruelly sundered by fate despite the war having ended, Marengo is put rather unwillingly out to stud and discovers the overwhelming and exhausting joys of parenthood.
Meanwhile Copenhagen finds a new way of passing the time - writing racy horse fan-fiction, a genre for which he turns out to have a remarkable flair...
Continuing the world's first epistolary equine love story.
