Leaving Romania from a vacation where I helped volunteering at a bear sanctuary, I stopped by a traditional farmers market outside of a citadel called Cetatea RUPEA. Many times on the roads, I passed by old horse drawn wooden carts. They were everywhere. I saw dozens lined up off the road and stopped to see what they were doing. It was a farmers market catering to their specific livelihood. I took some photos and film of their activities.
There was every sort of domesticated animal for sale there. Horses, pigs, cattle, sheepdogs, and food. Everything was traditional to the handmade whips to the dog collars, food and wooden carts. I did buy a couple of whips and some sheepdog collars. I am using one of the collars for my Saint Bernard. She's wearing it today. It's heavy duty and was only $12.00; designed for lifelong wear around the necks of sheepdogs in the Carpathian Mountains of the Balkans.
I missed filming one of the more interesting events I saw there. They test the strengths of the horses that are used to pull the carts. People pile onto the cart. They put on the brakes to the tires and have a horse pull and drag the cart across the ground; skidding the tires. The horses that drag it the longest distance are preferred. They almost knocked people down when then they drug the cart into the crowd.
I also liked the old heritage looking woman in the scarf driving her big horse and cart through the crowd. She reminded me of the rugged individual; the American Pioneer woman that help make America. She had been doing this a long time; probably all her life.
Being born in the city, it was nice seeing the other side of life from a perspective of people living a semi-subsistence life. The cultural divide was refreshing to witness. There is a lot of respect from me for people who survive on the historic heritage. It takes guts, determination, and know how to live like this. Nothing is taken for granted.
