Beautiful Percheron Team at Work

These two registered Percheron mares, Babe and Princess, belong to Steve Driscol at Michael's Nursery in Brandsville.

Here they are working at a local Plow day in West Plains, Nov 2008.

The team was driven by Dennis Goodall at the time.

Homemade Logging Equipment

Ira King is logging with 18 yr old Lady, a gray Percheron mare, and Molly, a Suffolk mare.

He made his own cart, tongue and eveners. He logs with a New England D Ring harness.

We had a Ozark Draft Horse Association meeting on December 12, 2009

at the Howell Oregon Electric building at 5 pm.

There was a confusion with the key when we got there, so Kirsten waited until 5:15pm; two more people showed up, and we posted a note on the door about the change of location for the meeting.

We moved to the China Buffet, across from Walmart.

Notes from the meeting:

Steve Driscoll has worked out a club discount with Mischka press for members of the association.

Donna Comer with Backfortybooks attended.
Keith Temple, a new attendee, is a mule man, but also uses ponies and horses. He also sells some horses and can help people to find a team. I think he is a great resource for the club.

One couple(Lora and Jim Mc Cabe) came late.
The note announcing the changed location may have been blown off the door on this so windy and rainy evening.

Lora told me that she will be happy to host a meeting since they have a big house and lots of room.
