| Do you use the pulling horses any? We fed with 6 abreast at Hubs. I'm grateful for the experience, and guess I'm grateful for a cab & heater now!

They pull our buggy in local parades. They are a very nice team of well-matched geldings, born in Canada from PMU mares. An old-time cow trader/horseman from Yankton, SD, bought them as weanlings. He did a fine job breaking them, and did a lot of mowing in roadside ditches with this pair of Belgians. When the horses were three-year-olds, the man moved into town. He no longer needed them, and I ended up trading him a two-seated buggy and a Quarter-type driving mare straight across for his team and harness. Homer and Jethro are good travelers, and can trot along for miles. Now they are twelve years old and weigh about 1800 pounds apiece.

Your sixth picture from the top, of Saddletramp, has to be one of my all time favorite pictures taken by anyone. That is what a nice photo is made of. If I was Saddletramp (or Soapweed) I would have that one on my wall.
The rest are very good too.

Soapweed,
'Love the shots taken through the ears of your horse, as it takes me right back. I can almost hear the creak of the saddle, feel the chill and the breeze in the air, and smell the sweet mix of horse, cow, and grass. It makes my heart ache, but in a good way. Thanks for the vicarious experience!
As for the goat, I think someone played a trick on someone. He's probably wondering where the heck he is, since he probably has no kin around there for 100's of miles!
