Exterior shots of Baggeridge Colliery (looks deserted and closed). We then cut to underground shots riding on a colliery train (cut to music) and coal is seen on a conveyor belt. There are various shots of pit ponies underground being led along tunnels and looked after in their stalls. A miner provides a voice over describing their use and their life on the surface after retirement. We then see a pony being carried to the surface in the mine lift and the final shots (which are mute) show a pony being led from the colliery into a horse box and then released in a field with other animals.
