On April 30th we took our second trip to Sequim, WA to learn more about how to drive horses and utilize them when farming. Since I am short on internet time, I am just going to let the pictures tell the story!
Ty- John's Stud
Betsy and Ty
If you can see in the photo above, Ty has cleared a nice foot of grass all along his fence- Liz decided to give him a snack
John leading Kelly and her foal to greet us- He was only a couple of days old!
Most of the Interns & Betsey
John demonstrating how to drive the floater. The floater is what he is standing on, it is used to flatten the field so there are not a lot of soil clumps when trying to mark rows.
