I enjoyed a trip to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to attend Horse Progress Days, 2024. This is the international show for people who farm using draft horses, mules and oxen. This was the 30th anniversary for Lancaster to host the event.

I enjoy attending Horse Progress Days, a farm and trade show for folks who farm with draft animals such as mules, draft horses and oxen. So cool to see a team of Belgian draft horses pulling a modern combine or a hale baler. Most attendees are Amish and Mennonite , though there have been farmers from Africa and Asia as well. Do you see me in the last photo?
