Some Glimpses of Idaho Horse-Driving Fun
Whenever possible, I keep the third Sunday in July open on my calendar, so I can attend George and Iola Hatley's annual Sunday drive and picnic. Sometimes I catch a ride in George's four-seater wagon; sometimes I bring a saddle horse and tag along with the vehicle drivers.
This year, I had the opportunity to bring family guests from North Dakota. My cousin Stephanie and her two granddaughters got to sample one of my favorite slices of rural-Idaho horse life. (That's Steph and one of the girls in the photo taken from inside George's wagon.)
Just a few photos from a fun and relaxing day!
George Hatley's team of Belgians leads the the way on the annual Hatley Sunday drive and picnic.
A great way to tour the northern Idaho countryside--under shade, via horsepower, and with a fine view.
The Sunday drive was all in a day's work for this sturdy little Norwegian Fjord horse and his owner/ driver.

That looks like a great way to spend the day!
Funny how Fjords look so little, until you're actually next to one! Although he would still have been little next to that Belgian team.
That was so cool! We rescued a Belgian and what a wonderful animal he is. I have never encountered such a (huge) gentle soul. Just hope he never steps on my toes. :)
I'm hoping to get another Belgian. Would love get a wagon and learn how to drive (is that the right word?) them.
Ahhhhh, horses....there is never an end to all the things one can learn to do with them.
Wow, that looks like a great way to spend a day!
Juli,
It looks like a wonderful outing you all had. I wish I could have been there both for the scenery, the wagon ride & to go ape crazy taking pictures of the days events.
It's funny, ever since I was a little girl I have had a soft spot for Morgans, not sure why, just love their faces.
Well, back to the real world, have a wonderful week.
