Hundreds of people gathered to watch as Monty, along with fellow dray horses Prince and Max - who are employed by Devizes brewery Wadworth to deliver beer 50 weeks a year to Wiltshire pubs - were each is given a pint of beer before being released into a field near Devizes. The brewery has been employing shire horses for more than 100 years to deliver beers to local inns and hostelries. Prince, Monty and Max are three of the last remaining working shires left in the UK brewing industry. (Photo by Matt Cardy)
