Description

Insight into the life of author, journalist, traveller and artist William (Billy) Holt and his faithful horse Trigger in Kilnhurst, Todmorden. After calling the horse from his field, Mr Holt paints in the loft of his barn as Trigger eats hay. Billy shows us around his house, discusses a display of his work in an art gallery and talks about his books. He describes his companionship with Trigger and how they have travelled around Europe together.
