Wannabe Teamster from Mass

Good Evening!

I have been hearing about DAPNet for a few years from my friends Pam and the Late Paul Moshimer from Blue Star Equiculture. They hounded me for a long time to get on here and learn something, so here I am!

I am a UMass Amherst student at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, in the Sustainable Food and Farms major. I am in a unique opportunity to also attend a school (and get UMass credit) called “The Farm School” in Orange, MA. As a UMass student, I took Draft Horse Husbandry taught by Blue Star, and another intro course at Fair Winds Farm through the Farm School. The Farm School also has a team which I’ve driven once so far, as an intro. Before attending the Farm School, I was an Intern at Blue Star for the better part of a yeast, driving and caring for the Drafts there. That is where I fell in love with Shires. I’ve taken a lot of intro courses, and preparing my property to purchase and get my own team. I look forward to reading a lot of the stuff here, learning a few things, and eventually be able to contribute. I have met a couple DAPNet members, and look forward to getting to know more of you. Thanks for having me and see you around!
