A barn is a building usually found on farms. It can be used to keep animals in, for storing hay or straw, or for storing farm machinery.

A bridle is a piece of equipment that a horse wears on its face. A bridle is usually made from leather, and is held on by buckles. The metal part of the bridle that goes in the horses's mouth is called the bit, and the long straps connected to the bit are called reins.
The combination of bridle, bit and reins is used to direct the horse, so you can make it go in the direction you want it to when you are riding or driving it.

A combine harvester is a large machine that harvests grains such as wheat, oats and barley. The combine not only removes the grain heads from the stalks, but it also separates the individual grains themselves from the heads.
The combine harvester was invented in the United States in 1834, but a commercial version was invented in Australia in 1885.

A farm is a large area owned by a farmer. On a farm, animals and crops are grown on a big scale. A farmer may have hundreds of acres of wheat and thousands of sheep or cows. Farms are where food is grown for all the people who live in cities all over the world.

A horseshoe is a piece of steel that has been nailed to the bottom of a horse's hoof to protect it from being worn down. Horseshoes can also be made from aluminium, rubber, plastic or other metals. A horses hoof is just like a person's toenail, and the horse cannot feel the nails going through it. A person who fits horseshoes to a horse's hoof is called a farrier.
Horseshoes are said to give good luck if they are hung on a door with the open end pointing upwards.
