(2004)  Draft horses backing up to a loaded hay wagon.  The hay had been
stored in the barns for many years.  The Show Barn is in the background.

An old horse-drawn Road Grader was found on the farm among other discarded items.

(Oct 2011)  The same Road Grader on display in the farmyard.

(Oct 2011)  Plowing the field west of the barns during the Open House, Oct 8, 2011.  Three Belgian horses pull the first plow.

(2011)  Max, Mindy, and Sam belong to Doug Smith.  An old log was dislodged by the plow.

(2011)  The two Belgian mules belong to Geoff Wilson of Ottumwa.
