EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating snapshot of rural life in Northern Ireland's County Antrim during the early 1900s, this photograph showcases the unique method of transporting turf using a Glenaan Slidecar for Turf and Mountain Pony. The image features a breathtaking view of the rugged mountainside, where two men skillfully maneuver the horse-drawn vehicle laden with freshly cut turf. The Glenaan Slidecar, a local innovation, was designed to make the arduous task of transporting turf from the mountains to homes and farms more efficient. The horse, with a determined look in its eyes, pulls the slidecar with an air of determination, while its riders expertly balance and guide the load. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, demonstrate their deep connection to the land and their resourcefulness in adapting to the challenging terrain. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people of County Antrim, who relied on the power of horses and their own creativity to overcome the challenges of their mountainous environment.
