This message is from: Nancy Hotovy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just wanted to let those that are interested in horse drawn farm equipment and working with horses know that Horse Progress Days in Kinzers, Pennsylvania is now going on. I know this post is a little late for planning but if you're near Eastern Pennsylvania you should stop by.
Rich took 4 horses out there to demonstrate new horse drawn equipment and then in the afternoons they have an exhibition of breeds. He called me tonight and Lynn Miller (publisher of the Small Farmers Journal) is out there. He is Rich's hero. He must be - - I'm not allowed to EVER throw out a Small Farmers Journal and we have every book he's ever put out! If anyone stops by for an overnight stay, guess what the spare bedroom closets are full of!?!? We were reminiscing the other day about when we first hitched a horse - standing in the barn with an incomplete set of harness (in not too good of condition either) and the Draft Horse Handbook by Lynn Miller. We would look at the pictures and try to figure out what piece went where! Thank goodness we had fjords - - they are soooo forgiving when you mess things up! Oh well, we've come a long ways since that time. Hope to see a lot of you in Blue Earth. I've ordered nice weather (not hot) for this year and we always have the Dairy Queen available!
