Nicks Blog | Real horsepower on a muckshift

Post #491 by RSS Bot » Tue Jan 22, 2013 4:15 pm

Image
All the talk, hilarity and banter recently about horsemeat in certain supermarkets burgers, got me thinking about how important the horse has been to man throughout the ages, whether it be on the farm, during wars and also at work. I delved into the Digger Blog archives to find a shot of horses at work on a muckshift.

This video has been doing the rounds on the machinery forum circuit for the past week. It was posted on our Facebook page by regular reader Angus John MacAulay, and I feel its worthy of a spot on the main site.
