Celebration of Horse Day - Traditional Harvest and Agriculture Festivity
On Sunday, 3rd August, the Lensahn Museum Farm is inviting you to a unique and educational experience. The event, starting at 10 am, promises a glimpse into the past, showcasing how field work was performed with horses before the advent of mechanised equipment.
The heart of the event will be the demonstration of draft horses performing various tasks. Visitors can observe these impressive animals moving wood, plowing, and harrowing fields, just as they would have been done centuries ago.
For those seeking a more leisurely pace, horse-drawn carriage rides along the nature trail will be available. This is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the picturesque surroundings while learning about the historical methods of transportation.
Little ones will not be left out either. Weather permitting, pony rides and other children's activities will be on offer, making the day enjoyable for all ages.
Fuel up for the day at the Lensahn Museum Farm's café and guesthouse, which will be operational throughout the event. The first potatoes harvested using horsepower will also be available for purchase, offering a taste of the past.
A horse-drawn seed drill may be used during the event to cultivate the field, providing a fascinating insight into the farming methods of yesteryears. Throughout the day, all activities will be informatively commented on, ensuring that every visitor leaves with a deeper understanding of agricultural history.
Don't miss this chance to immerse yourself in history and learn about the role horses played in agriculture. For more detailed information about the event, including any schedule changes or additional activities, we recommend visiting the Lensahn Museum Farm's website or contacting them directly.
The demonstration of draft horses performing tasks such as moving wood, plowing, and harrowing fields will offer a glimpse into the past of sports like horse-racing.
