We are now talking bout the All breeds Carriage Driving Event for 2014.This Year there will be several  show that will count for our point system and the club is looking forward to get a horse related trip this year if possible. Have a great winter and get those ponies out, even if it is only for a walk in the woods.      ********** Hope everyone enjoys the Holidays **********

All Breeds Carriage Driving Event

The ohio welsh club would like to thank all the people that show up at show this past week.We hope that everyone enjoyed the weekend . The past week has been trying at times, but we had good weather for our show.  We had some new people that came to the show for the 1st time and some that came to help others.The pinic was a sucess and the band that John got was great. As you know that we are working on the 2014 show and trying to keep this running. This seems to be the kind of show that people want in this area. But to keep this going our magic no. needs to be around 60 -70. I know that the people that are showing every year are out there promoting the show. We just can,t figure out why anybody that is local is not here.

All Breeds Carriage Driving Event

Ck out the ohiowelsh.com site for the show bill.  the biggest change for 2013 is that we are having 2 cross country class and they are both different. and they are FREE to anyone that show up,enters the class.  What a deal.  There will also be a pinic Sat evening. All invited to come.This is something that has just came up and is new, So pass the word around. We would like to see everyone that has an animal to drive that might be a little shy in the ring , at least show up for this.

Think spring

I know as of this moment most of us are saying. How long to spring.But as we all know that the fact is we are a lot better off in the good months if we have had to go through a little bit of suffering , of what we call cold weather and frozen ground for a period of time to kill off  bugs ,germs, and also the cold and rain help settle are pastures back to the new grouth. The good thing about this time of year is is to look back on last year , to figure what we did and what we would like to do this coming year. Now to the point I would like you to dwell on. The All Breeds Carriage Driving Evevt (For Good Horses In June.)  What a title  Goes along with what a show. If you have been here before you know this is a fun weekend and still fits in your budget.We have added a couple new ideas to change up the event and to extend the amount of fun you can have.If for some reason you have not made it to this event, This is your year to put your horse and yourself first. The event is June 29-30 at Portage Co. Fairgrounds in Randolph, Ohio. For more info go to ohiowelsh.com and click on the show page or contact Paul Hurd @ 330-863-3376.
