LAKE/SANDERS COUNTIES — Announcement … For anyone who might be interested in starting a draft horse and driving club for Lake-Sanders Counties. The Montana Draft Horse and Mule Association is working with interested groups to form a local/regional draft driving club here.
Interested persons may call Kenn McCarty, President of the Montana Draft Horse and Mule Association at 406-833-0714.
“Draft” simply means to pull. Any size of equine that is trained to pull is a draft animal, from the American Mini horse to the gentle-giant Belgian horse. Typically, these clubs include all-breeds of driving/draft horses and mules.
Local/regional clubs are free to determine their own Mission and Vision statements and develop their own bylaws. Most include such attributes as: education, youth, recreation, sport, small business and horse farming type of activities.
Any person who joins a local/regional draft driving club is also welcome to be a member of the State Association. No other requirements exist.
An exploratory meeting is scheduled for Sunday, April 28, at 2 p.m. at the Ronan fairgrounds meeting hall.
