PICTURES: Racehorses & Farm Animals

 
The first three pictures are from the era of the book (the 1970s). 
The first beautiful shot is of a mare and her foal in a paddock in Woodville.
 
Do you remember polled hereford cattle mentioned in the book?  Well here's a picture of them!
 
Also spot the cute sheep!
 
Most of these horse pictures and photos of NZ farm animals were taken in the Manawatu-Wanganui region.
