Great Dorset Steam Fair, the best bit! Horses.I try to get to the show most years because I simply love the working horse section.
This was a competition entry in my local photography club under the title of work. I was surprised by the distance between the ploughman and the animal brains.
The plough was fitted a semi-digger mouldboard and therefore the pulling link is higher on the front of the plough for depth. The soil was chalky and reasonably good but crumbled leaving a broken furrow.
Regards, Peter.
