Two participants in the festival of the Horse? Anyone know who they are?'

This was taken long before the Boys' Ploughing Match became the Festival of the Horse. This was likely to be a Burray Boys' match and similar photos from the same era would be a guess at the 1920s/30s.The Parks of Summerton feature in some of these.
