Moora Working Draught Horse Muster 2011

See working draught horses in action online... Features include operating a 'hay sweep' and a 'hay grab' as well as a rare sight these days: a six-horse team pulling the plough. Vehicles include a chuck wagon re-creation by Jake Wiltshire complete with genuine imported ironwork fittings from the USA.

The event also features a stagecoach hold-up as part of a relaxed family day for heavy horse enthusiasts, who travel from near and far to Moora near Rushworth in Victoria's north-east. As purveyor of quality harness, Noel Wilthshire reminds us, "You can't smell it online" but you can see what it looks like!
