ROSABELLE Linda Harrington
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.
