Sunday, Fun Day!

Hi Everyone!

Soooooo much has been going on behind the scenes, even a bit of stitching but mostly a LOT of work, projects and chores. But yesterday was MY day. My day to relax. A WHOLE day to myself - no work, no chores, no timeline! 

And the first thing I did in the morning was to open a special delivery box.

It wasn't empty of course but the contents needed sorting and cleaning.

And resulted in pile of leather straps drying on several towels!! Actually it's a mix of biothane (pvc coated polyester webbing) and leather, with several stainless steel buckles and a few rings thrown in for good measure. 

What this really is, is a future adventure in horse training. More specifically, my goal is to train Stormy to drive. Him pulling a cart is a long way off but we can't start the journey without taking the first step. Literally, we both will be walking miles on the ground - just like this.

And that required the purchase of a harness that would fit him and not break the budget. Luckily, many years ago, Shipshewana Harness landed on my radar, as a great resource.  It's located in LaGrange county, Indiana but supplies the needs of horses & horse harness across the country in sizes from miniature horse to the largest draft horse.  

As is happens, LaGrange county is home to many Amish communities who require harness for their everyday driving horses.  My new harness is actually used, thoroughly checked and in great condition. It was traded in on the purchase of a new harness and was waiting for someone looking for a secondhand set. That was me! 


With the help of Bob & Brody, owner & harness maker respectively, who patiently answered all my questions and my friend P, who helped me carefully measure a thoroughly bored Stormy, it was determines that this rig would work.  Even better is that any necessary adjustments could be easily made by Brody. and of course, they are happy to help with the addition of any custom bling I may be dreaming of. 

In these stressful times, when 2020 is not the year/Summer that anyone had planned, it's good to look further down the road and start on a future adventure now. Change the Plan, not the Goal!
