Regarding the image of the Poitou Donkey, that is Penny dePeyer, owner/breeder of "Okemo". Both reside at Chakola's Place in Goshen, New Hampshire...not Hartland, VT. For more information check out chakolasplace.com
I have shown "Kemo" for the past several summers with Penny and others at Donkey and Mule Shows around New England.

I'm glad Betsy enjoyed EA. I usually go every year but had to miss this year to attend to my late father. I love to watch the seminars and always learn something at them. I'm also VERY glad to see my lovely favorite stallion Othello. I've been to Friesians of Majesty sevveral times and just love that facility. I also got to groom Othello before his driving event at the Kuering (friesian inspection) 2 years ago. He is quite the studly boy and loves to pose for pictures. The farm offers woman's weekend camps that are wonderful-I learned more in 3 days about horses than in the years that we had our own horses while I was a teenager.

Martha, I believe on one of your shows you stated that you were looking to buy old coke bottles or at least that is what a friend told me. If so I just so happen to have a few....please contact me at my email address and let me know...Thank You for your wonderful show over the years....Staci

If you enjoyed equine affaire, you would love Quarter Horse Congress, which is in Ohio 3 weeks in October. It is much bigger, more demonstrations, and much better shopping! It's a great opportunity!

Love this post and found each of Betsey Perreten's photos wonderful.
I grew up with and on horse's, and to have ever had the opportunity to attend such an "Equine Affaire" would have been an event of a lifetime to last in my treasure of memories forever. Thank goodness there are so many countless and dedicated people to enhance and enrich the lives for these spectacular animals.
Ben Risney's chainsaw carvings are beautiful. I would like to see him enter the Hackensack Minnesota International Chainsaw Festival held in the month of September each year. This last September a carver from Japan entered among the vast number of carvers from many locations. Ben Risney would bring the event up a level with his beautiful creations and would no doubt be a top competitor for the purse.
Thanks Martha for posting more wonderful informative subject matters for us. Especially appreciated by the horse lover fans today!

Hi Martha, Wow, what a great blog about Betsy's trip to the Equine Affaire! I can imagine how much fun she had and how much she learned at that exposition. As I have said before, you have the best crews at work and on your farm and other homes. I love hearing about the great things they all do. Betsy's photos were absolutely great and I'll bet she had a terrific time. Thanks for sharing and say Hi to fantastic Betsy. Jan

I only know that Betsy and any others involved in an equine love affair were in their glory attending this exposition! When one is passionate about something, he or she by nature eats/sleeps/drinks ANY information related to their interests - it's just innate!

Thanks, Martha, for sharing this lovely gallery of all-things-equine. (And) Betsy, if you're doing any follow-up reading on today's blog, thanks for sharing your photos with our Martha! I would l-o-v-e to have the opportunity one day to be exposed to these beautiful creatures and learn their ways and how to handle them. Cat whisperer that I (feel that I) am, being a horse whisperer would be pretty awesome, too!
