Osmington White Horse

In 1989 the figure was restored for a broadcast of the TV show Challenge Anneka, although the work was subsequently criticised by historians for doing more harm than good.

Anneka Rice, presenter of the show, stated that planning permission and advice had been sought before the work.

[2] In August 2011 pranksters added a 'horn' made from plastic sheeting to make the horse resemble a unicorn.

[3] In 2012, it was announced that for the Olympics 2012, the horse would be cleaned and slightly recut to make it look like the original when it was cut in 1808.

Restoration was completed on 11 March 2012, and Princess Anne attended a ceremony at which a new plaque made of local stone was revealed.
