Our horses Per & Mikkel, ca.1956

My father was a market gardener and these were his work horses Per & Mikkel, presented by Egon, who worked for us. To the right my elder sister and me. :)

The horses were so-called Lithuanians, but I'm not sure whether it's an actual breed or just something my father made up. They were good horses, but could be obstinate with Egon, who wasn't the brightest fellow. Often they would stop in the furthest corner of the field and not move until my father yelled at them - and his yell could be heard half a mile away... :)

Anyway, 3 years later the horses were gone and had been replaced by a Farmall tractor...
