Book Family Farm

The book family no longer provides wagon or carriage rides. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, your family or your business and thank you for all of the wonderful times you have shared with our family over the last 25 years.

Belgian Gelding - One of the club members has a 9 year old Belgian gelding for sale that both rides and drives. This horse has been to one of the club meetings and has proven to be a very nice driving horse, but we've also been told that he rides even better than he drives. He stands at approx. 17hh, weighs approx. 1,800 lbs. and is sorrel in color with a dirty blonde mane and tail and four off-white socks. The only reason for this sale is that the horse was given to them and he doesn't match any of their current stock. If interested, email SchillDrafts@hotmail.com for further details and pictures.

Suffolk Gelding - One of the club members has a 6 year old Suffolk gelding for sale that has been driven, but needs an experienced driver. Lots of details and information on this horse so if you are interested in the rare breed of the Suffolk, please email us and we will forward you the owners contact information.

NOTE: There are almost always horses in the area for sale of all different ages and stages of experience. If you are searching for a new draft, email us with what you are looking for and we will see what we can do to help. Be sure to include if you have an requests for any certain age, breed, driving level, etc.

NEXT MEETING

Our next meeting will be held on Saturday, March 13th at Nolan Darnell's home. Please plan on being there before 10am with your horses and it should be a beautiful day and we want you to come out and play! See you there!
