EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Man and His Working Horse: A Glimpse into the Past at Shugborough Working Farm, Staffordshire, 1988 2.. In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a man in a weathered hat and work clothes leads a sturdy working horse along a muddy track at Shugborough Working Farm in Staffordshire, England. The year is 1988, and the scene transports us back in time to a simpler era. The man's strong, confident grip on the horse's reins and the horse's steady, determined pace convey a deep connection between man and beast, a bond forged through years of cooperation on the farm. 3. Behind them, a series of old-fashioned hay stacks, or ricks, rise against the horizon. These traditional structures, made from bales of hay bound together with twine, stand as testament to the farm's long history of agricultural production. The hay, once used to feed livestock during the winter months, is now a symbol of the farm's self-sufficient past. 4. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and open fields, the landscape dotted with trees and the occasional farm building. The muddy track, leading away from the camera, suggests that there is much more to explore on this working farm, which is now under the care of the National Trust. 5. This photograph, taken in the late 1980s, offers a rare glimpse into a bygone era of rural life. It invites us to reflect on the changing nature of farming and the enduring connection between man and horse, as well as the importance of preserving our agricultural heritage for future generations. 6. The man, identified as Philip Dunn, and his working horse embody the spirit of Shugborough Working Farm, a living testament to the past that continues to thrive in the present day. This photograph, a poignant reminder of the farm's rich history, is a treasure in the National Trust's collection and a source of inspiration for all who appreciate the beauty and resilience of rural life.
