You horsey folk dont seem to know a lot about horse ploughing. The horse and pony are on cleanland which is a lot easier than ley ground. (cleanland is ploughed after growing tatties and neeps. The tree of the horse is fornent the plough, the ponys tree is ofset from the plough.The ploughman was a wise man.

The photogragher captioned it the "Mismatched pair" who ever they were.
Some photos had it on others not.

The late Daisy Gray showed me this photo some years ago, and she said, 'how's that for a mismatched pair'. I can't remember if it was on her copy of this pic as I'm not a horsey person.
My copy came from my great aunt 'Pol' Shearer who was married to Peter Harcus of the Park.
