Hello from southern IL.

[Dale D]

first of all, this is a wonderful site. My wife and I have had trail horses for 25+ years. we purchased a old 50 acre farm at the edge of town and moved our house from in town to our new place, absolutely love it.:D we have recently purchased a team of haflinger/ belgium drafts, ( I have never drove or worked with draft horses before) so I am learning a lot. We purchased this team from a good friends family, they were his fathers before he passed. I am honored that we were given the chance to buy them, they are a great team. we take leisure drives, parades, and plan on doing some field work with them in the future. ThanksDale

Thank you, yes they are great team. My buddy ( former owner) and I gave buggy rides with them this past weekend in town for the Christmas stroll.

Welcome Dale,

I was a saddle horse person too, now I have a team of steers. I like riding, but I love working with my animals. Enjoy your time with your team and know that there is a ton of info here and lots of supporters of what you are doing.

Be well and keep us posted on your progress,

[Dale D]

we are 40 miles due east of St. Louis, Mo. Shawneetown is about 2 1/2 hours drive southeast.
