With its black bucket back legs kicking outwards and the rider's jeans poking out of the soft earth in front of it, it's hard not to have a giggle at this year's winning entry in the Farm Art category of the Sculptures in the Bush competition.
Developed by the Oldham family the Browns Creek Bucking Bronco won the Farm Art category and the Stanbridge family's John Deere Green tractor on Newbridge Road won the Hay Bale Challenge.
