EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a scene from a heavy horses ploughing competition held in the picturesque county of West Sussex, England, during the 1970s. The image transports us back in time, evoking the nostalgic charm of a bygone era. Heavy horses, also known as draft horses, were once an essential workforce on farms across the United Kingdom. Their immense strength and endurance made them indispensable for tasks such as ploughing, carting, and threshing. In this competition, these magnificent animals and their skilled handlers demonstrate their prowess as they compete against one another to see who can plough the most productive furrow. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the rolling hills of West Sussex, creating a serene and idyllic atmosphere. The horses, with their powerful muscles rippling under their thick coats, seem to embody the raw energy and determination of the land itself. The crowd, a mix of farmers, locals, and enthusiasts, watches intently, their faces a blend of excitement, anticipation, and respect for these magnificent creatures. This photograph is a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of West Sussex and the important role heavy horses played in shaping the rural landscape. It offers a glimpse into a time when the connection between man and horse was a vital one, and when the simple pleasures of rural life were cherished and celebrated.
