As explained in my last post, recently I traveled up to South Dakota for a family reunion. It kind of goes on for several days with different things at different places. One of the things we did was we convened at a family member’s farm and he had arranged for his neighbors to come and give horse drawn wagon rides to everybody. You can bet that I was in the first group.
The horses are Belgian mares and furthermore they are both pregnant but they did a great job taking everybody on a ride. The neighbor takes his team to different events around the state and you can tell it is a labor of love for him. The wagon and the horses tack were perfect. He doesn’t pull reins to get them to go one way or another, he says “Haaa” and “Geee” and they respond.
Stuff like this is making memories especially for the little ones on the ride. Big smiles from them, and big smiles from everybody!
Last time I was at the reunion, four years ago, the same neighbor came over with a stage coach. Check it out here. That was also lots of fun.

Hello,
I love the horses, they are beautiful. What fun for the kiddies and the whole family.
I would enjoy the horse drawn wagon ride too. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
I would cut in line ahead of you! heehee! That would be so much fun!
The horse-drawn wagon rides, led by pregnant Belgian mares, must have been a unique experience. Looks fantastic!
I’ve gone to a lot of family reunions but never one where it lasted a few days. We spent more than one day with some of the family but not all of us as a group for multiple days. I love horses and those are beauties! So nice of the man to give everyone rides!
Lovely horses, my daughter is horse mad, she would love these ones.
I absolutely love the photos of the horse-drawn carriages – something you don’t see in my corner of the world.
Happy Monday, Yogi
