hope you make it to Pa sometime to enjoy the forests of maple, oak, hickory, beech, wild cherry, ash, gum, etc…. also big ole sycamores, hemlock and tulip poplar….lots of raccoons, too, but where i live there’s a lot more people than raccons.

you may already know of Ross farm museum? they are in New Ross Nova Scotia and they farm with oxen and Canadian horses there.

congratulations and all best wishes on actually living the dream! (hum John Lennon’s “Imagine” here….)

Sie sprechen sehr gut Englisch, meiner Meinung nach. (please excuse my very bad German!)
I agree that manure in the hay is not a big problem.

would be interested to hear how you like the fjord horse. i don’t have fjords myself, but have been to norway several times, in fact it was on a farm in western norway that i first worked with draft horses. draft HORSE, actually, they only had the one.

hopefully there are niches for many animal power advocates out there….
i am working on a single horse-powered wheelbarrow at the moment (basically a mini-dump cart).
how about a single-horse scraper for clearing manure out of barnyards and snow out of driveways…..
