0:21:10 > 0:21:13- This competition was different - to the usual fare.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- We've had Shire Horses before.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- This time, - they aren't just in harness...

0:21:46 > 0:21:52- Through luck, he'd canvassed hard - and we had the competitors.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- For someone of my age, - it was quite common.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- I think there are people here - who have never seen such a thing.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- They were taken aback.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- The judge was looking - for a clean harness.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- He wanted to see a horse strong - enough to pull that kind of wagon.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- There was a big difference - between the wagons.
0:22:39 > 0:22:45- The wagons reflected the types - of landscape, farms and work...
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- ..they'd be asked to handle.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- The winner was Glenn Cass.
