Want to learn how to hitch and drive horses? Curious about the versatility of the Norwegian Fjord horse?
Don't miss the hands-on, basic hitching and driving educational seminar to be held at Blue Heron Farm, Charlemont, Mass., on Friday, Aug. 12, Saturday, Aug. 13, and Sunday, Aug. 14.
Pat Wolfe, a well-known Fjord horse breeder, trainer, certified evaluator and judge from Ontario, Canada, is the instructor.
Participants will learn the basics of harness and vehicle types and basic skills needed for both draft and pleasure driving. Everyone will have the opportunity to learn how to skid a log, drive a single and drive a pair using Fjords from Blue Heron Farm, the host of the event.
Due to the hands-on nature of the event, class size will be limited to 12.
Since each day will build on the previous instruction, cost for all three days will be $300, including morning and afternoon refreshments and a box lunch. Auditing is possible for $60 per day, including refreshments and lunch, but, once again, for maximum benefit, all three days are suggested.
Pre-registration is required.
