A field became an arena for a heated contest with close to 100 ploughmen and women showcasing their land-tending skills.
The White Horse Ploughing Association hosted the annual event, drawing vintage and modern machines to the competition ground near Westbury White Horse.
With her Shire horses Silver and Charle, Charlotte Webb was making her debut into competition work, providing a backdrop of traditional farming methods for the audience.
Ms Webb, previously accustomed to only showcasing her two shires, broadened her skill set to include plough competition work under the guidance of National Competition winner Martin Kersell, much to the delight of spectators.
Ian Craddock, who organised the match, competed with his vintage 1944 Fordson tractor, which was purchased from Dennis, the Trowbridge main Ford agent.
His efforts paid off as he won his class.
The event was not just a competition, but also a display of community spirit and the preservation of agricultural heritage.
