<p style="font-weight: 400">The 1933 photograph shows a herd of impressive Belgian workhorses that were a crucial workforce at Kragerup Gods in the 1930s and 40s. These strong animals were indispensable in agriculture, and <a href="https://profil.mystoryplace.dk/stories/view/5faec66f52068">Jørgen Eigil Wiffert Dinesen</a>, the estate owner at the time, had a special passion for them. He not only ran a regular farm, but also a large production of Belgian horses. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400"><b><strong>The brothers and the Belgian horses<br /> </strong></b>Jørgen Dinesen’s interest in Belgian horses began early and it became a lifelong passion. He spent a lot of time improving the quality of breeding and collaborated with his brother, Mogens Dinesen, to secure the best horses for the work on the estate. The two brothers shared a deep interest in breeding and farming, which made them a strong team. Mogens, who also had ties to other estates, brought his expertise to Jørgen’s breeding work, and together they created a large and respected herd of powerful Belgian horses. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400">In the photograph, you can see the animals lined up ready for the day’s work. The horses pulled plows and wagons through the fields and forests around Kragerup and helped shape the landscape as we know it today. </p>
