Good Morning!
Tuesday – a day of reflection this week – let’s review several photojournals on how the horse has helped humans …
Hubby found a wonderful presentation called:
“Why we fight to preserve and protect America. 100-Year-Old Transportation Photos.”
There was no written story… just photos.
I’ve selected a few for you here.

I loved this collection of photo’s. I think that the first one is also in my book of Canadians (about the breed lol – not the people) and I used to stare at it for ages trying to imagine the amount of “horse power” packed into those two valiant horses, which was capable of moving a load of that size and weight. Incredible isn’t it – the debt humans owe to these equines .. Thank you for posting them :)
These photos are an amazing representation of just how much our lives as human beings were support fully and successfully by our equine partners. We are forever entwined with a most glorious and brilliant creature known as ‘the horse’. Thank you for sharing the site:)

Didn’t mean to leave out mules. :-)
Wow. Fascinating photos. I find them sobering in terms of bringing home how hard life must have been for so, so many equines — I was going to say “back then,” but of course that extends to most of human history. Humans owe so much to horses and donkeys, such strong, gentle, silent workers. I think that modern civilization has forgotten how much we owe them.
Love these! I live in between Baltimore and DC, great to see these pictures.
