The experienced teamsters of the Green Mountain Draft Horse Association held a beginner horse driving clinic on the Farm, teaching new members of the Vermont draft horse community how to harness, hook up a cart, and ground drive! As Jean Cross explains, “People who drive are in tune with the animals and natural rhythms. Because you are working with breathing, thinking creatures, you have to be aware of everything around them. When you’re that alert, you end up experiencing more. Using draft horses over petroleum-based equipment also contributes less noise and uses no diesel, making it good for the environment as a whole.”
