Narrated by Mary Healy Music by Jeff Harbourne It was discovered through internet searches that Apprehension is the name of a race horse and following on from this Apprehension's 'breeding tree' was found. Using the names of the horses a narrative was written to include each name in the order it appears in Apprehension's breeding tree. In differing to its source the film's narrative is based around the delivery of a package, in a time when electricity and water have become scarce. However, the films imagery references the structure of the narrative by showing horses, which are edited home movies from the 1950's of horse shows (purchased from EBay).
