Another day and I was back in Ohio. This time me, Jaime, and Kyle took their horses to Plow Days. Basically, it was a lot of Haflingers, some mules, a couple Belgians, one Perchereon, and one Clydesdale plowing some guys field. We actually didn't plow since we didn't have a farm implement. It was cold, but it was fun.
 |
| The Belgians, they worked hard and plowed a lot of land! |
 |
| Mulies! |
Jaime took me for a spin with Notch around the cut down cornfield, then I got to drive him! It was really cool. I even trotted for a short bit. Jaime trained Notch all by herself and did an awesome job. He is such a good boy.

| Percheron butt! |
 |
| Smiles! |
Kyle rode Clutch. The Gypsys were there, too, being ridden.
And this kid is a nut! He pretty much just scurried right up on top of Clutch to ride him.
 |
| Monkey boy! |
I also got to go for a ride in a team Haflinger hitch. Becky trained her mares, Allie and Stinky, too. Their ride was so smooth, it was very nice. Makes me itching to get Shyloh going!

| Becky and her mares, Stinky and Allie |
 |
| Pretty Stinky!! Her eyes and face are just so soft! |
A couple teams of Haflingers were hooked up three across. Beth's team had a newbie on the end. Moe was learning to drive and was his first time hooked up with other horses. He did a great job! Beth trained her Haflingers, too.

 |
| They did good! Even the new guy (with lead rope attached, just in case) |

| The other set of three |
There were a few wagons. . .
And an eight hitch team of mules all hooked up!
 |
| Could you imagine driving eight?? |
At the end, they held a log skid contest. The point is to stop the log at certain points between the cones. It was different. . .
Whew, what a horsey weekend! I am exhausted!
