It’s been said that if you choose a job you love you will never have to work a day in your life. But I think that applies more to a job like a motorcycle tester than an Amish farmer.
Wendell Berry wrote: “There are only two reasons to farm: because you have to, and because you love to. The ones who choose to farm choose for love.” I wonder if the horses feel that way too?
The horses I work with love to work. It’s exercise and something to do. There is a lazy one or two, but most like having a job. I get your point though, I often think of dog racing in this aspect. I love the photo by the way!

Thanks, I didn’t see any of them smiling but if you look you’ll see all their ears are up. Maybe listening for the lunch bell?

Thanks Lois, ideally every photo should have a foreground, mid-ground and background. Its easier said than done though with moving objects.

I think he broke that back wheel because he wasn’t there today and only a few small rows were plowed. Unless they were all watching Mister Ed reruns.
