The 1st event was a Draft Horse Farm Team competition held in May where over 300 attended to watch the draft horse teams compete in a cultivator class feeding team competition, log pole, and obstacle course, farm yard obstacle. The 3rd and final event, for the season, will feature the draft horses where horse teams will plow, disc, and harrow.
