15th annual Draft Horse Plow Day postponed to MOTHERSDAY :-)

Newbury Daily News

Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm in Newbury, MA  rolls out its 15th annual Draft Horse Plow Day Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the fields of the historic Little’s Lane property.

The Plow Match continues a long tradition of work horses on the farm used to prepare the soil for spring planting. In the 1880s, brothers Edward Francis Little and Daniel Noyes Little imported draft horses by rail from Iowa to Newburyport. Trained at the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm, the horses were sold to other farms and coast guard stations.

“Green Horsemanship” ???

I came across this new phrase a couple of days ago and it triggered my brain cells … “Green Horsemanship”, what is it supposed to stand for? What would it actually look like in our daily routines? Is it a valid expression?

Hop on your Horse and Send me a Picture !!

Hello everybody,


Many of you follow my blog with great interest and think this is great, but what can I do ???

Well if you belong to those who always complain about not having enough time for their beloved horse, here is a proposal :-)

How about setting an example in your community ??
Hop on your horse instead of using your car..

GREEN Trailriding ?

Planning to go on the great adventure, again ?

Thinking about packing up a camp, saddling horses , pack stock, and heading into the backcountry ? Well think about it twice ! Restrictions for horse and rider on trail have multiplied over the years and opposite to this development less land is available for trail riding, due to America becoming subdivided and paved.
