Hello from another Vermonter

[Jean]

Hi, happy to have found you all. I am new to draft horses and the awesome work they can do. I have had my mare almost 2 years. We have come a long way in that time. She had some serious trust issues, but will now look to me for guidance. Hopefully this summer I can get her hooked up and she will be able to spread her own manure.

Look forward to reading some interesting threads and asking some questions.

Enjoy the snow!

Hi Jean.

I didn’t want to hijack Melinda’s intro again, so I decided to use yours instead. It is too bad about the Vermont accent, or New England in general(sitting in the pulling arena a Fryeburg makes you realize the accent is still strong somewhere). You mentioned an auction, I looked on the calender and couldn’t find one. Is it something that you could post or add to the calender? I try to get to a couple good auctions a year if only for social reasons, but I found a great little single horse Syracuse plow at the last one I went to, well worth the trip. I will let you know that I am awful jealous about all this talk about snow and sleighing and such, hopefully I will be able to enjoy a real winter one of these years. Take care and stay warm,
Erika

Hi Erika,

The Green Mountain Draft Horse auction is the first weekend in May. I will post more information next week after our Annual meeting.

In the years I have attended it there have been a number of forecarts, buggies, meadowbrook carts, plus harnesses new and used. Lots of farming equipment and of course the horses. Last year we had everything from mini horses to drafts. Even a very sweet mini donkey.
