Sometimes, winter in Wisconsin seems interminable. Especially with icy paddocks, frozen fingers, and overwhelming feelings of cabin fever. However, there is a strong upside to winter - sleigh rallies!
On February 13, HOW held a sleigh rally in Deerfield at Huston Farms. Dale Huston, the host, groomed beautiful trails around his farm and we had a good turnout. The weather was a little warm for sleighing, but the snow held up and the drive was great.
And Ingrid Krause learned an important lesson of driving an antique vehicle: when you turn too hard to the left and your sleigh pulls crookedly, the answer is not to oversteer to the right to straighten it out. Lo and behold, that will not result in a straight vehicle, but it will result in a broken one! After part of her sleigh crumbled away, she was able to borrow one of Dale's and was back on the trails in no time.
Pictures of the rally to come soon!
