Marlborough contracting company forgoes tractors for horses

A Marlborough couple is saying ‘neigh’ to tractors and banking on horse power to deliver spraying services to vineyards around the region. Since the industrial revolution, the equine beasts have fallen out of favour with farmers and other agricultural types, but they could be making a comeback. Stephen and Melisa Rae started their contracting company Horse Power Contracting after buying two clydesdales from Marlborough wine company Seresin Estate.
