	046 Oregon Draft Horses Plowing Event 2 0f 2	Create your own albums?

Oregon Draft Horse Breeders Association annual plowing competition Chompeg State Park. Each year members of this association and farming famlies from all over the Willamette Valley gather to remember the past and to show off there talents and teams in a plowing competition.

Some of these folks still farm exclusively with horses. There are some small family farms who wish to farm in an ecological friendly manor. Welcome to Oregon we do things in our own fashion. I am always amazed to see the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next. There are grandfather, fathers and sometimes great grand children at these events to learn how to carry on the traditions of or past.

The horses are amazing to see in person and close up and to watch them at work with there handlers is like watching a great artist at work and in this case the canvas is mother earth her self. The field comes alive as the earth is turned under by the plow. Man and animal working in tandem something long forgotten in this world of high tech and corporate farming. It is good to see people remembering and passing on our grand heritage to the next generation.
