Title: Horse ploughing
Post by: GillSmith on March 30, 2013, 06:02:18 pm

Would anyone know who I could contact with regard to allowing a heavy horse society/club plough some of our field?  We have about 5-6 acres of a 10 acre field needing a good turn over and I've heard that some of these societies are crying out for land to hold competitions on.  I'm in West Norfolk and the land is sandy and well drained, if that is of any help  (let's just say we never get waterlogged!).  There is good access to the field off a main road and plenty parking space for visitors etc.  Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Try Stephen Jones of William Jones farms in Dereham. He used to live near us and used his horses for ploughing.

Thanks to both of you - I'll give them a try.
