Plowing and Threshing with the horses

The early afternoon on October 31st our neighbour Joe Jefferey and my dad's hired help Keith Colburn took their heavy horses out for everyone to see. They started with the threshing, then they went out back to plow. Mike was in his glory and had to try everything but driving the horses. So he first tried driving Keith's old 36 steel wheeled tractor pulling the plow, which of course was super rough. But Mike kept smiling of course! Then he tired the hand plow behind the horses which was extremely hard trying to keep up to the horses, walk and not roll your ankles and just keep straight. It was interesting seeing what they did back in the day to farm! Man did they ever work hard!! It was a neat afternoon.
