While in Yuba Pass area we were only 30 miles from Grass Valley and the Draft Horse Classic. It is an annual Draft Horse show. I love those big, beautiful animals so we had to go. They had so much going on. Daily shows with a 9 horse hitch (1 horse more than the Clydesdales of Budweiser).
Can't imagine handling those 9 massive horses. Show contests on horse performance, wagon, and showmanship. It was really a neat experience.
The Belgian's won at the horse pull contest. Walked away like they were pulling a thread. There are ALOT of people in this area with the Working Class of Horses and use them daily on their ranches/farms. My mind always linked the crazies of California with Hollyweird. But such a large portion of California is wonderful, regular, hard working people and these folks were so down to earth and NORMAL.
