I don't imagine that many canal boats are drawn by horses these days.

I'm confused. Are there going to be 2 bridges there? Why is construction delayed - wont the vegetation have grown again by
then?
There are a growing number of horse drawn barges being re-introduced. They are operating short distance trips as a Tourist Attraction.

Sure we could find a horse, getting there is more of a problem. Not much call for horse drawn vehicles along the Radbourne Brook or John Port Lake though.
