For centuries, horses were the backbone of human labour, powering farms, pulling carriages and supporting industrial activities. The rise of mechanised technology, such as tractors, gradually replaced horses, reshaping economies and societies worldwide.

 

bones of branches

an x-ray, a sketch

 

promise of apricity

a hope, a scent

 

whisper of a forelock

a life, a breath

 

gaze of a witness

a link, a friend

 

story of a land

a map, a trend

 

memory of a shadow

a mirror, a bend

 

twist of a rope

a sigh, a stretch
