I don't know if its true


It's not ...

but I heard they finally got rid of them a few
years ago because some irate drivers attacked the horses.


No, Youngs continued to use horses until the day the Ram Brewery closed
in 2006 (and still do so, although no longer for deliveries).

The horses (which are now owned by the retired head keeper) are stabled
in Surrey and are still used for promotional work for Youngs and Wells.
