He told Lorraine: “If you have trust issues horses are fantastic for building your trust.
“They touch people and they touch people’s hearts.”
The Doc Martin star added: “Horses are great healers – they give people a lot of confidence.
“If children are not thriving in a conventional environment, it really is proven they get better – even with naughty horses like this one.”
But the horse, also known as Bruce, definitely wanted his own few minutes of fame and was persistent in stealing the show!
Lorraine jumped in saying: “He knows he’s on the telly!”
Martin joked back: “He’s Scottish!”
But Martin wasn’t going to be out done by Bruce.
He then appeared to put his ear to the horse’s rear and joked: “Nope, nothing coming through from my agent.”

Martin then took a stroll around the yard, introducing Lorraine to his other ponies.
Martin and his wife Phillipa have a horse farm in Dorset, where they own 12 horses, ranging from Shetlands to Clydesdales.
The 55-year-old was also appearing on the show to launch the Changing Lives Through Horses Initiative which wants to inspire disengaged individuals to reconnect with society through the animals.
Martin then went on to chat about the new series of Doc Martin.
He explained that they are about to film the next series, but it could be the last.
He said that 2019 might see the end of his doctor’s practicing days.
He said: “We go down next month to Cornwall for season eight and season nine in 2019 – that as far as we know is the last – we might have to retire the doctor,
“He might be retirement age by then.”
The actor expressed his love for his life on the farm.
He said: “Farming keeps me grounded: animals never lie.”
He added: “I don’t have any gripes. I know I’m the luckiest man in the world but, as part of my job, I literally have people in my face, focus pullers or make-up and that’s absolutely fine, because they’re people I know and like but, when I’m back here, I’ve got all this space. It’s perfect.”
