Horse on holiday

A tour of Denmark with a difference. A milkman and his horse take a young American girl around Denmark, camping in the milkcart. They visit Kronborg, wander thorugh villages and countryside, stay at a farmhouse, meet up with a university student, cross by ferry from island to island, and return to Copenhagen, the King’s palace, the Tivoli gardens and the milk round.
