This photo print, taken on the 2nd of October in 1948, showcases a remarkable scene from the Petworth and District Ploughing Match. The image captures a picturesque countryside landscape where two magnificent grey horses can be seen diligently ploughing a vast field. Their powerful presence is truly awe-inspiring as they effortlessly navigate through the earth, leaving behind perfectly formed furrows. The George Garland Collection has preserved this timeless moment, allowing us to glimpse into the rich agricultural history of West Sussex. The attention to detail in this photograph is extraordinary; every strand of hair on these majestic creatures' manes can be discerned. It serves as a testament to both the skillful craftsmanship involved in capturing such moments and the importance placed upon farming during that era. One cannot help but admire not only the beauty of these horses but also their impeccable tack and harnesses. These tools are meticulously designed for maximum efficiency while ensuring utmost comfort for our equine partners. This image serves as an homage to those who dedicated their lives to working with animals in agriculture. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's extensive archives under Ref No. N30789, this print offers a window into our rural past—a reminder of simpler times when hard work was rewarded by bountiful harvests and close bonds between humans and animals were forged through shared labor on fertile lands
