See, it sounds like a stupid question but my farrier horsey friend is adamant that they still use them sometimes.

I thought this could be answered quickly, the rest of the internet doesn't seem to know either.

*sigh*

I doubt it, you seen the traffic round there?

Are these subterarrian (sp?)horses? Do they ever see the light of day? Sounds kinda Moordoor-ish.

i know they own horses at harrods, she knows other farriers who've shodded them.

calling harrods would be too easy

i dunno about that, but the guy playing piano in the 4th floor restaurant does like a half-hour long bee gees medley.

cool, but i'm questioning the date of that publication. i did find another site which said that Fayed had sold the horses off in 2003, but conflicting information reports that they still use the horses for special occasions.

I was going to say I thought I'd seen them recently, but 2003 may be later than my view.
