Stallion AI founder calls for the preservation of rare Suffolk heavy horses

Tullis Matson, the founder and director of Stallion AI, holds an old black and white photograph of a Suffolk horse ploughing a field alongside his grandfather. For him, this is not just a sentimental treasure, but the very beginning of his deep passion for horses.

This passion eventually led to Matson's pioneering work with rare breeds. Heavy horses have had a massive impact on his initiatives and conservation efforts within this field.

According to Matson, Suffolks, like many other heavy horse breeds, played a crucial role in putting food on tables during the 1930s and 1940s, and worked alongside humans through wars. Consequently, he points out that we now face a choice between letting them go or saving them as our heritage.
