About the artwork

In earlier days, when harrowing clay soils, a two- or three-horse team was chosen. Small plots of light sandy soil could be harrowed with a single horse or two-horse team. Choosing a four-horse team in this case has a special reason; the two lactating mares in the team stay in shape and their foals can gradually get used to the coming weaning time.

On the way there, the mare was able to cover several kilometres at a walk to catch her breath.
