Horse Progress days was started by men in the Amish community fifteen years ago, but is also useful for those who want to hobby farm with horses or just plain want to learn more about horse equipment. There will be displays and demonstrations of a complete line of the latest in horse drawn equipment. The field demonstrations complete with the equipment hooked to teams of horses or mules should be exciting to watch.
They will have demonstrations with spreaders, plows and tillers. Hay making, logging and breed demonstrations will be going on and seminars on horse conformation, horse health, gentle training, horse vs. tractor, controlled grazing as well as plowing and planting clinics.
