Hello everyone! Glad to have found another draft animal forum! I’m also a member of “drafthorsevillage”.
I’ve been around draft horses my whole life, primarily Belgians with a few Percherons in the mix now and then. My family and I have been using our horses for farming and logging for 4 generations, maybe longer! We mow and bale our own hay every summer, use our teams for logging in the woods and also do hayrides, sleigh rides, and weddings. I have a young team of Belgian geldings, a 2 year old and an 18 month old. I hope to start them together this winter and eventually use them myself for hayrides etc., and also logging and farming. I look forward to meeting all of you and learning and discussing with you!

Ashley,
Welcome to DAP. I live just up the road on Appleton Ridge and use drafts in the woods. I am sure we will run into each other at some point.
You will find this a most useful resource with loads of collective experience. Look forward to meeting you all.
