The local ploughing match. I wasn’t able to speak to the drivers directly, but this horse team was fantastic! There were quite a few horse teams this year, although apparently this particular horse team does up to 20 ploughing matches a year! Given that ploughing season is a period of around six weeks, that’s a serious achievement. Later on during the match, a two-horse team may turn into a one-horse team as the ploughing furrows are required to be ‘slivers’, which is measured as the width a pheasant can run down! Using a single horse means you keep the definition of the furrow.
