Countryside: ploughing with horses
Did it tip to one side at all when you were working? "No, once you’d got going, no it just went itself like. A pair of good horses that knew the job, well one’d be in t’furrow and t’other up on top, a pair of good horses, they would nearly plough themselves. " Photo, left: Jim Elliott adjusts the height of the land wheel during setting-out at the 2003 Championships (Hornby Hall, Penrith, Cumbria). Jim was National Horse Ploughing Champion 2002 and 2003. He is working with Lion and Prince. Notice how the horses stand unheld while he works. They are wearing smarter-than-usual harness with plumes, stainless steel chains, shining brasses, and bells which tinkle sweetly as the work goes on. Championship ploughing, being judged on uniformity and straightness, demands that both horses work on the land to prevent them spoiling the perfection of the furrows. Much adjustment goes on and the horses need to be hugely patient with the ploughman's constant starting and stopping to correct the plough, throw out rocks, consolidate crumbly parts, and pick out unburied weeds.

Plough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A runner extending from behind the share to the rear of the plough controls the direction of the plough, because it is held against the bottom land-side corner of the new furrow being formed.
