It has been said that the horse replaced the ox and that the automobile and other gas operated machines replaced the horse. Farming with horses began in the 19th century and in Maine up into the 1930s and even the early 1940s. This video produced by the staff at Camp Chewonki describes in detail its use of the horse in its preparation of garden space to provide vegetables to the people of Lincoln County.
