We went to an Amish buggy horse auction in Brighton, Colorado. That is where Henry found Savannah - a 3 year old Draft horse. It was an auction and I was sitting right next to Henry. This pretty black and white mare was in the sale ring and the auctioneer was taking bids. It got almost to a close and the fellow was trying to get the bidders to up the price. Suddenly he was looking right towards us! I glanced at Henry and said, "are you bidding on that horse?" , when he sheepishly grinned and said, "Yeah."
In just a couple more minutes, she was ours. Although she has been harness trained, she needs some work before she will pull the blue and tan buggy that sits in our shed. I'll send those pictures once she is hooked up.
Come on out for a ride.

Be careful...it is an addicting hobby from what I hear :o) We have a few friends that do draft horses so if you have any questions, let us know.
Well at least you weren't bidding against each other! Looking forward to seeing you sitting in the buggy with horse in front--ideally that is!
