Spring Working Day, 2010

Another successful Working Day was held near Ormskirk earlier this year. Several different breeds of heavy horses were on display - I have included some pictures for you to admire.
Several members brought their ploughing teams and gave an exhibition of the different types of horses that could be used as well as the different pieces of equipment that are available. Two of our members are also members of the Horseboating and they gave a talk on the way that horses were used by canal barge owners. We also had a display ring and the chairman gave a short talk on the different types of horses and their uses.

Whilst the weather was not too kind a good day was had by all.
