Horse Progress Days 2008 - Draft Animal Power Event

Classic Rural Heritage Show - Long Play
Horse Progress Days is an annual event that encourages and promotes the combination of animal power and the latest equipment innovations in an effort to support small scale farming and land stewardship. It shows that show Draft Animal Power is possible, practical, and profitable.

This was our first HPD after purchasing Rural Heritage. It is hosted by Sam Moore. Sam gives us a thorough tour of all of the equipment demonstrated and displayed at the 13th annual Horse Progress Days in 2008 held in Mt Hope, Ohio. He explains the features of the implement in the static displays followed by film of it being demonstrated in the field with the power of a team of draft horses or mules. There are teams of Belgians, Percherons, Fjords, Haflingers, mules and more.
