2017 Moffat Co Horse Power Draft Show Review
The Moffat County Horse Power, Draft Horse show and Feed team Race for 2017 was a success! We had 6 farm teams, 2 singles, two hitch teams, one 6 horse hitch and 2 eight horse hitches that participated in the show this year. This show also had some of the best drivers in the business driving, Enos Yoder, Freeman Yoder, Norman Yoder, and Scott Banga! I considered us pretty lucky to have them all here!
We started off the weekend with a spaghetti dinner on Saturday night. I always like getting together and getting to talk to old friends and meet new ones. My family was there to help again, I don’t know that I could do this without them! Our judge this year was Bud Walsh. He was a great judge for our mixed show of hitches and farm teams.
We started off the day with a Men’s and Ladies cart with lots of participants. While waiting for the hitch teams, the farm teams and singles did a timed obstacle course. We also did an exhibition on a Gypsy horse that came to the show. We were suppose to have more than one, but she is the only one that ended up coming, but Syneva Blatchford was a great sport, she even brought a write up for me about Gypsy horses. It was a nice addition.
The rest of the show was filled with beautiful hitch horses and Farm team competitions. We had a hitch team, 4 horse, and 6 horse hitch classes on Sunday. In between the hitch classes, we had youth classes and enough farm teams to do our log skid competition, (that they chose to do it on foot) a feed team race, and a fast, fun team barrel
race! We also did a few single competitions for the singles to participate in.

Summer 2017 July 24, 2017Since I do the show during the Grand Old West Days in Craig, they wanted us to do a 2 day show, so on Monday morning, everyone had gone home. Everyone but Highpoint Clydesdales eight horse hitch, and Yoder Family Hay eight horse hitch. So we did a magnificent 8 horse hitch show followed by pictures. It was Enos Yoder against Freeman Yoder, and what a show they put on! Then the Anson boys invited anyone to come down to the arena and try their
hand at driving their two teams of Belgians. It was a popular event and I believe the spectators appreciated the opportunity!
It was a spectacular show, with breeds including Clydesdales, black Clydesdales, Percherons, Belgians, Shires, and Brabant’s. We had teams from Westcliffe CO, Granby CO, Ogden UT, Eaton CO, Longmont CO, Montrose CO, Cedaredge CO, Ignacio CO, and Rifle CO. As always, a great bunch of friendly folks getting together to enjoy working our horses! I was happy to have them all!

WE ARE SO PROUD! This year’s training show had an amazing turn-out, with 20 exhibitors, several from as far away as Colorado Springs, Evergreen and the Western Slope. This show served as a first time show experience for both youth and adult exhibitors. Many of our veteran exhibitors branched out this year and showed in new classes too. The Working Team On The Rail Class had to be split into 2 heats and we had a drive off! We served our Grass-Fed home raised beef this year and received rave reviews!
