At the Plowing Match

I could have sent you a number of lovely spring photos, but today it's all about the plowing match that took place
 Saturday, April 5, 2014,
 at the corner of Chilliwack Central and Annis Rd. on a rather wet day where the clouds hung low, pressed against the mountains, and you better have come with your galoschen on, and taken photos from your car as I did.
It was the 92nd annual Chilliwack Plowing Match.
But where is the driver?
A tool box is ready in case something goes wrong...
Looks like he is ready to go...
and...
so are these draft horses brought in by farmers.
Five legged "old timers" reminiscing about how they did it in the good old days. 
Beautiful horses...
...enjoyed also by the young.

Wishing you a wonderful week,
Hilda

PS. Round #6 -- last round.
 Thu. 10, Fri. 11 and next week Thu. 17.

  1. Great pictures of the horses. Thanks for sharing these. So who won, the horses or the tractor?

    1. We didn't stay in the car long enough to find out (:

  2. Imagine having to plow acres of fields this way?
