Haying with Horses
This event has already occurred. This page is provided for reference only.
Special Event
Take a step back in time and watch as several teams of draft horses, driven by teamsters, are used to put up hay. Watch as a load of hay is gathered up with a buck rake and loaded on the beaverslide. Experience the explosive power of the draft team on the stack as on cue, they pull up the load, pulling straight toward the audience. See workers on the stack use pitchforks to shape the loose hay into a solid stack to be stored for the winter.
Fees
This event is free to attend.
