Horse milk is hay-ok

FATHER ‘ROBBED’ OF LIFE

A FARMER produces the world’s most expensive milk – costing £13 a pint and coming from horses.

Frank Shellard runs the only farm in Britain to commercially produce the alternative dairy product.

His business, Combe Hay Mare’s Milk, has 14 mares producing 12-14 litres a day to make the vitamin-packed milk, hand cream and lotion.

The 62-year-old believes the milk is far sweeter, with a much lower fat content than cow’s milk – and says it is drunk by 30million people around the world.

Frank, of Bath, Somerset, said: “It’s a lot more expensive. But you can drink it as a health drink. There are no chemicals used.”

A HEART attack victim died after a paramedic stood back and let passers-by try to save him.

Gary May failed to use his defibrillator on dad-of-two Peter Mcdonald, 52, after he collapsed at a bus stop, and let members of the public carry on CPR.

It was only after another emergency vehicle arrived eight minutes later that paramedics shocked his heart. But by then it was too late to save him.

Gemma Cooper said her fiancée of just three weeks was “robbed of his chance of life” during the incident in Chesterfield, Derbys, in December 2019. And Mr Mcdonald’s mother, Elizabeth Newell, told an inquest in Chesterfield that she was “amazed” Mr May was still working as a paramedic.

Mr May, an East Midlands Ambulance Service employee, said he was “concerned about people being near him if I tried to shock him”. But he also conceded he “may have been having an off day”.

In a narrative verdict, assistant coroner Peter Nieto said there was no certainty Mr Mcdonald would have survived even with proper treatment.
