Among the horse pictures in this group, this one is set apart by its caption, which names a "Borden team" that took first place at a New York Work Horse Parade. The Bain News Service titles were recorded from its own negatives and caption cards, and the team's identity is not confirmed, so the Borden name should be read as the photographer's label. Parades like this one celebrated the draft horses that hauled delivery wagons, coal, and freight through crowded city streets before motor trucks took over that work. The judged teams were groomed and decorated with great care, so the picture also shows the pride that owners and drivers took in animals that kept the city running.
