Northwest D.R.E.A.M. Team
Draft Riders Enthusiastically Accomplishing Maneuvers
Drill
team practice
started in February 2010 with 11 horses and riders. Some horses had been
ridden extensively and some horses were broke to ride, but very green to
the experience of working under
saddle. The
biggest challenge for the horses was to stand and work in close proximity
to one another. On this day, we celebrated our accomplishment of standing
close enough together to be able to touch hands. And so the Whatcom County
draft horse drill team experience began. The best part of the experience
was the
bond
that
was created
with
thirty
plus 2-3 hour practices over 5-1/2 months during rain, snow, wind, or shine.
The commitment of each team member was incredible.
