Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm in Newbury, MA rolls out its 15th annual Draft Horse Plow Day Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the fields of the historic Little’s Lane property.
The Plow Match continues a long tradition of work horses on the farm used to prepare the soil for spring planting. In the 1880s, brothers Edward Francis Little and Daniel Noyes Little imported draft horses by rail from Iowa to Newburyport. Trained at the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm, the horses were sold to other farms and coast guard stations.
