Shetland Ponies during Autumn Harvest

Harvest season in traditional fruit orchards brings busy days of gathering apples and pressing fresh cider in rural yards. Farm ponies often accompanied workers through orchard rows, enjoying fallen fruit while timber presses turned crisp apples into sweet juice.

Traditional Orchard Apple Presses

A cider press uses a heavy wooden screw to crush ground apples inside a slatted barrel, squeezing out pure fruit juice. Woven reed baskets were used to collect apples from trees before carrying them to the press area for sorting and washing.
