Driving Clinic at Burgundy Hollow Farm

 

Some of you may have heard horse people talk about driving.  What is driving?  No, it's not about controling a vehicle.

 

Horse pulling a wagonDriving is putting a horse in harness and hitching it to a buggy, cart or wagon, so the horse can pull it and a person then "drives" the horse from the buggy using long reins.  I'm sure you have seen this in the old Western movies. 

 

You now have an opportunity to see driving in person.  Michelle McBride-Casale will be demonstrating properly harnessing a horse, the training from start to finish, and how to pick out a good harness horse or pony.

 

The clinic is being held by Lehigh Valley Horse Council on May 15th, 2008, at 7PM at Burgundy Hollow Farm on Church Rd. in Moore Township in Northampton County.

 

If you have ever wanted to learn about driving, or just curious about it, come on out and see it for yourself.  It will be prove to be an interesting evening.

Definitely sounds interesting.  I have to admit I have never driven a horse, althoughwith the price of gas, we all may be learning soon.

Linda:

I know a few horse people that drive and it isn't really tht difficult.  Just a matter of practice and knowing what to do (like riding).  With the gas prices rising, it will be cheaper to invest in a horse a buggy to get around.  I think that will be neat to drive your buyers around in a horse drawn carriage.  :-)

Hi Brigita. Used to fool a lot with horses many moons ago. Plowed em', shod em, broke 'em, even broke 'em to harness. Used to have a sulkie and an old doctors wagon that I used in parades. Horses are loads of fun. Kinda miss them.

I agree with you 100%.  Horses are a lot of fun.  Whenever you're in my area, look me up and I'll bring you over to meet my horse, Eddie.  He is loads of fun.

I think we all could use it these days.  The horse makes a great lawn mower and fertilizes at the same time.  Save you work there.  LOL
