    Hi there ‘k’,
    Welcome to the forum and to the Draft Animal Power Network (DAPNet) community. There are a couple options that you could check out up my way, if you are willing to make the significant drive, Natural Roots Farm and the Green Mountain Draft Horse Associations clinics. I’m guessing there are options closer to you, however. Looking at the forum’s member map (see ‘direct link to member map’ on the forum homepage) there are a couple of folks in your area. You might look at that map and see about contacting those folks.

    Welcome to the network!

    Hello K-
    I live in Easton and would like to show you what i’ve learned. Others have given me their time and it helped me decide if this was something that would work for me. I’d like to pay it forward. Email me and I’ll give you my Phone #.

    There is no substitute for a mentor (which I don’t have), but if you just need inspiration and see what is possible in carriage driving, check out Barry Hook’s website and youtube channel. His web is http://www.horsedrawnpromotions.com. Very talented family of trainers (Barry, his wife Melani and Barry’s son Fletcher) in the UK.
