EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the raw power and strength of two Shire horses at work in the 1910s. The large, heavy collars around their necks attest to the immense labor these animals were expected to perform. The leather tack, with its intricate designs and sturdy construction, underscores the importance of these horses in agricultural work during this era. The Shire horses, known for their size and muscular build, were the epitome of horse breeds used for heavy draft work. Their broad shoulders and powerful hindquarters are evident as they strain against their harnesses, their eyes focused intently on the task at hand. The horses' coats, glistening with sweat, speak to the physical demands of their work. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the agricultural past. The horses' laborious toil, their unwavering dedication to their work, and the intricacies of their tack serve as a poignant reminder of the essential role horses played in rural communities before the advent of mechanized farming. The photograph is a testament to the deep bond between humans and animals, and the mutual respect and dependence that existed between them in the days of heavy horse labor.
