EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 1935, we are transported back in time to the Petworth Ploughing Match. The image showcases a serene moment of respite amidst the bustling event. Two magnificent horses, their sleek bodies glistening under the sunlight, stand gracefully in a vast field. They appear at ease, taking a well-deserved break from their arduous labor. A man stands nearby, his presence exuding calmness and care as he tends to these majestic creatures. With gentle hands and an attentive gaze, he ensures they are comfortable during their rest. Nearby, a towering tree provides shade and shelter against the warm autumn breeze. The scene is adorned with traditional horse accessories that speak to both functionality and beauty: horse bridles elegantly crafted with intricate details; gleaming horse brasses adding a touch of regality; and sturdy horse collars emphasizing strength and endurance. As we observe this tranquil moment frozen in time, one can almost hear the soft whispers exchanged between groom and steed - words of appreciation for their hard work or perhaps simply offering refreshment before returning to plow through fields once more. This remarkable photograph is part of the George Garland Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office (Ref No: Garland N12196). It serves as a poignant reminder of our agricultural heritage while showcasing the deep bond between humans and animals that has shaped our history for centuries.
