There were larger fresnos that required teams of four or six horses.
The high point of my Dad's working career is when he obtained a team of horses and worked them in the orange orchards in the Pomona Valley in the twenties..
I remember the team. They were named Bert and Beck. I can remember chewing on the rolled oats. There is better food for a little boy!
My Dad, Charles Abner Monson, worked with horses from his birth in Kentucky, 20 years in Kansas on his Uncle's farm, and many years as a farmhand in Southern California. He was a teamster when teamsters worked with horses.
