At each station, members will receive expert one-to-one instruction and have an

opportunity to work with their animals on the following skills:

• Ox cart obstacle course station will give you a chance to hook up to a 2-wheeled ox cart and maneuver through a series of obstacles.
• Stone boat instructional station will show you how to work your animals on a chain and on the weight they are pulling.

Additional information:

Your animals’ health papers and approval forms will be checked. There will be a potluck lunch — please bring a dish (and your own serving utensil) to share.
