EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in New Zealand during the early 1930s, as Kiwi farmers skillfully round up a flock of sheep using horses. The scene takes place on a picturesque farm, with rolling green hills in the background and a clear blue sky overhead. The farmers, dressed in traditional farming attire, expertly maneuver their horses to guide the sheep towards a pen. The sheep, some with wool so thick it nearly covers their eyes, follow obediently, sensing the familiar sounds and commands of their handlers. The sheep farming industry in New Zealand has a rich history, with the first sheep being introduced to the country in the late 18th century. By the early 1900s, it had become a significant sector of the economy, with New Zealand producing high-quality wool for export. The use of horses for rounding up sheep was a common practice during this time, as it allowed farmers to cover large areas of land efficiently. Despite the passing of decades, this image transports us back to a simpler time, when the rhythm of farm life was dictated by the seasons and the needs of the land and its livestock. The farmers' dedication and expertise are evident in their ability to work in harmony with their horses and sheep, creating a scene that is both beautiful and functional. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of rural communities in New Zealand and the important role that farming continues to play in the country's identity and economy.
