Hi Tom,Some photos from the annual draft animal plowing contest held at our local museum. Normally held in April, it was rescheduled to May this year because the ground was too wet due to a very wet winter and spring.
A field is partitioned into sections and each contestant plows one section and is judged on various criteria. Here, the horses and plowman stop for a break to rest the horses and talk with the spectators. In spite of the ominous clouds, the rain held off until about the last 15 minutes of the 4 hour event.

This is Suzanne. She won the top prize last year and this year. The first person to win two years in a row in the history of the contest. The mules are real hams. They always look towards the camera.

Duane and his 7 year old grand daughter. He is very skilled in plowing with draft horses, so she is learning from one of the best. The white specks that show on the dark horses are rain drops falling. The rain held off until the end of the plowing.

One of the awards is a vote for people's choice by the spectators. It was essentially a tie for the two women as seen here.
