4H Clubs Visit COF June 2011
posted on Jan 14, 2012June was a month of learning about the draft horse breeds at Chestnut Oak Farm for two local 4H Groups in Pennsylvania. The Selinsgrove Twilight Riders and the Juniata County 4H clubs enjoyed their visit as they learned about the various draft horse breeds, their care, development, and history.
The clubs held their monthly meeting at the farm followed by refreshments, gathering as much information as they could about these fantastic horses.
Many photos were taken as the students had a hands on presentation, while asking questions and meeting each horse personally. We encourage the 4H clubs or any other organization that wants to learn more about draft horses and especially the rare breeds of Shire, Gypsy, Drum, and Brabants to visit our farm.Trail Riding Fun at Chestnut Oak Farm
