Some Zeeland farmers are in the possession of one or more (Belgian) draft horses. These farmers are usually member of the 'Zeeland working draft horse foundation'. The draft horses aren't actually used for the daily agricultural work, but are kept as a hobby where they're used from time to time for, by the foundation organized, folklore events.

On March 30, 2019, such an event was held at the Zuid-Beveland peninsula, Zeeland, The Netherlands. This time the horses worked the field, often with the use of antique or out-dated (no longer used on daily basis) agricultural equipment.

For the horses, it was apparently an 'outing'. If they had been able to speak, they would undoubtedly have said that they had enjoyed the event and the by the audience shown interest for it.

This capture was taken at this event.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

The one in the middle looks like he wants to come to America and work for the Amish, SEA.
Too bad we're having immigration problems.🤠

Well captured of the horses having "fun"! I'm sure this is better than standing round in the barn.
