Do you have a large paddock you want ploughed on the cheap?

Vicki has managed to get the forth off so we are planning to attend.

Tony we finaly caught up with this thread

This all started from a great idea to buy a draught horse to be used and kept at a friends historic property and has now escalated to this.The organisation of this event is well under way, and it will be interesting to see how many horses actually turn up, there has been quite a bit of interest shown in being a spectator, offers of help and as an entrant. Now that Michael is back from the west he is also showing a great interest both in the horses and the old ploughs (oh no he is getting rust in his veins, maybe be it is inherited after all). Don't worry I'm sure some one will spot the odd Blitz or two there.

Getting close now. See you on the 4th looking forward to a day off.

It was a freezing day at Yass and still the horses pulled a good crowd

I am sorry I could not make it... Jo is out of town in the family rig.
It looked to be a great day, more reports (and photos, of course) would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hi

Was wondering did they give a prize for the straightest furrow and neatest set of furrow.

When we moved into the town lived in for the last 41 years there was one old timer that was still plowing with his team of horses. There a number of working farms now there is only one.

Cheers Phil

Phil there was some demonstration ploughing but the main aim was to set a record for the most number of horses turning soil at the same time. Hopefully Max will give us the results.
