ouch! I read a diary reprint of a cavalryman who spoke of the regimental horseshows..but he didn't mention anything like this..looks painful to all concerned as others have said..the led horse looks pulled off balance, the rider is being swivelled round, probably pulling his own horse off balance a little..not the easiest of races to compete in.

Apparently this was a 7.5in (190mm) Mk. III naval gun used on a static siege mount to shell Nieuport in Belgium. 14 of them were salvaged from the pre-dreadnaught battleship Swiftsure when it was decommissioned in 1917, with some going to coastal defense in Britain and a few for siege work in Belgium along the coast there. However, I must confess that this gun looks larger than 7.5 inch, perhaps a 9.2 inch or even a 12 inch spare barrel for a rail road gun.

Not so much a tractor, something that hardly existed at the time, more a steam-powered traction engine.

that gun isn't big enough. they should go back to base and try harder.

It's only the barrel.
