AS well as mighty engines from another place and time defiantly spitting their steam into the face of an unyielding sun, there were a lot of horses at this year’s Steam Rally in Abergavenny.

Horses with riders doing the sort of things you don’t tend to see this side of a Hollywood box office.

Which is quite apt because the OG Performance Horses are some of the hardest-working mounts in show business.

And in case you were wondering where all the usual fanfare of toots, hoots, and general letting off of steam was at this year’s Steam Rally was…

Well! The engines were asked to behave and tone things down a little this year, so as not to startle the beasts.
