My Dad used to drive a horse plough in his early years. We’ve a greatly treasured photo. I love shires, gentle giants. You’ve reminded me to do a search to see if there are any competitions within travelling distance. An enjoyable day out.
Lovely pictures. As a child I remember going to see the Cart Horse Parade in Regents Park on Easter Monday. I believe this now takes place at the South of England Show Ground at Ardingly in West Sussex.
As espied by dh earlier - shire horses mowing the grass verges and flattening the bracken in Richmond Park. They’ve been using the horses for years but I’ve hardly ever seen them.
