The 14th annual Heavy Horse Day was held by Mick Bradford at his property at Yangan on Sunday.
Agricultural heritage equipment was on display and in action with demonstrations, stalls and displays.
The website describes it as “an event to showcase farming equipment from the 1800s and 1900s in the days when the horse power was really the power of the horse”.
There was machinery on display that dated back as far as the 1880s with many in attendance amazed at just how much farming and productivity had changed.
There were examples of farming equipment from the Sunshine Harvesters Works, Massey Harris, International Harvester Company, McCormick Deering and other manufacturers.
Proceeds from the event are donated to RACQ CareFlight with past events raising as much as $5000.
