Horse and Hay Wagon

This image shows a horse drawn hay wagon, ca. 1920. An unidentified man is standing on top of the hay, driving the wagon. The image is taken from the ground, looking up at the horse and the man.

This picture was taken in 1920 of a horse pulling a wagon of hay. There was quite a lot of work to do while hauling hay. You had to throw the hay up on the wagon, and someone was always up top to pack it down. A lot of hay went on the wagon. The man who drove the wagon was usually a farmer.

The horse in the picture is a Clydesdale. As you can see, the horse has a stripe on its forehead.

A blacksmith made many of the parts on the wagon, like the wheels.
