  • Family Generations Stay with the Gentle Giants
    Family Generations Stay With the Gentle Giants Kelly McCarthy, Writer Louisville, KY - November 16, 2013 – Today at the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE), the Draft Horse Show came to a close after two days of impressive competition. Alternating with the action-packed Cowboy Mounted Shooting Classes, draft horses and their exhibitors provided spectacular entertainment for audiences in Freedom Hall. After the first round of Ladies Mounted Shooting, a two horse hitch entered the arena pulling more than just a carriage and its passengers… but also a legacy. While the Minniear’s Belgian horses are beautiful in all their glory, the family’s history with Belgian draft horses is something beautiful as well. Mike and Glenna Minniear, competing in the North American International from Goodland, IN, have made showing their draft horses a family affair. The Honey Locust Belgians began with Mike Minniear’s grandfather and uncle in the 1950’s, who started using horses in competitive pulling. Since then, Mike and Glenna have taken over and, after showing competitively themselves, have ignited a passion for draft horses in the rest of their family. The couples’ grandsons, Austin and Joel Huff, have also become involved in the draft horse showing community, making them the fourth generation since the founding of the Honey Locust Belgians. Appearing together while showing in horse hitch classes, the brothers take the reins for certain events. Austin Huff, 18, drives the carriage for the six horse and unicorn hitches, while Joel, 16, takes the lead during four horse hitches and the cart classes. Since their start in the draft horse community, the Minniear’s have always kept Belgians in their barn.

  • CVHA Newsletter January 2014
    CVHA Newsletter Official Publication of Central Valley Harness Association January 2014 3UHVLGHQW·V0HVVDJH Greetings to all CVHA members! Hopefully you were able to do some driving over the holidays. A few of us had an impromptu idea for driving on New Year's Day, thanks to Phyllis Rumley. We met at Verde View Farm and drove through the nearby orange orchards and along the Fancher Creek canal. Phyllis led the way with her intrepid Welsh Cob, Ty, followed by Lois Patten and her Welsh Pony, Flower. Kathleen Rose and her intrepid mini, Romeo, brought up a veryclose rear - he was a real trooper. Passengers were Sharon Booth, and Brent Patten on Ty's marathon carriage, and Dee Douglas with Lois in her Road Cart. It seemed as if we trotted undisturbed for miles. There were no issues encountered and everyone had a wonderful time, including a sip of the bubbly afterward. If anyone would like to be on a list of impromptu invitees to such a drive, please let me or Phyllis know. We also had a chance to utilize our new Fresno County Horse Park memberships this weekend. Phyllis is preparing for moving up to Preliminary Level for the CDE season, by breaking in her new navigator Kathleen. (I think Kathleen's eyes were twice as large after Phyllis cantered several times through the big water hazard!) I took my Norwegian Fjord pony, Buttercup, out for her first long trot since being sick. Everything went smoothly, no glitches or conflicts with the handful of eventers who were out there training.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    Design and fabrication of universal action bullock cart CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION In the present scenario, Animal drawn carts especially bullock carts, are the oldest mode of transportation, existing in India and in few other countries since the past unknown. About 15 million bullock carts exist in India. Statistic shows that number of bullock carts has not reduced in last 30 years, belying the popular concept that bullock carts will disappear with the development of society. Reasons are many. The fact is that still in India, bullock carts are the most important mode of transportation in many parts of rural India. Unfortunately, the technology of the carts has not been improved. The conventional bullock carts are made of wooden wheels and bamboo / wooden load carrier (known as platform). More than 80% bullock carts are of conventional type. Only a few number of carts has been partially converted to metallic (which cannot be termed as „improved‟). As this mode of transportation will exist in India, there is need for the improvement of the technology. Bullock cart is a medium of transportation used in our country from ages; it is used to transport human being as well as materials. Bullock cart are also used as a medium of ploughing in villages and in farm. It takes a lot of time to dump the materials from the bullock cart. To reduce transportation cost materials such as sand, cement bags, sugarcane bagasse are transported using bullock cart. With the use of mechanical mechanism we tend to ease the dumping produce which intend reduces the work load of the human being.

In 1861, when Japan was about to move from the feudal system into the Meiji Restoration, foreign residents living in Yokohama, predominantly British, introduced the first Western-style horse racing by establishing the Yokohama Race Club to Japan. Western style horse racing was held in foreign enclaves, and hence, unfortunately, very little is known or recorded about initial era in Japan’s modern horse racing history. At about the same time that the name of the Japanese central city was changed from Edo to Tokyo, Western-style horse racing began to be found in the major metropolitan cities across the country. In 1906, the government embarked on a policy which tacitly allowed to bet. This led to the introduction of modern horse racing featuring sales of betting tickets in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and other metropolitan cities, from which most racing operations benefited.
