One of my co-workers invited me to something he was helping with this past Saturday. It was called Plow Days and I guess it's done every Spring. There is a group of people who have teams of horses, and every Spring they gather and demonstrate the art of plowing fields the old fashioned way.
The public is invited to this, there are ponies available for kids to ride and they have a food booth to raise funds for 4H kids.

It was fun to watch these teams of horses working.
It takes a long time to do a whole field this way, one small lane at a time.
This man had to walk behind his plow - no seat on this one.
It was a reminder of how much work it used to be to get a field ready for planting.Of course, those of you in Amish country still see this work going on!
This horse looks pretty classy for a hard days work, don't you think?
