On August 23rd the OHHA sponsored an Pleasure Driving Show at the Payne County Expo Center. There were many exhibitors including Draft horses, horses, ponies, and even miniature horses. Joanne Vance was the judge and Andy Kincaid was the show organizer. Everybody had a great time despite the hot temps and the torrential rain/hail storm that afternoon. At the end of the day everyone got to watch the "Touch of Ear," 8 horse Belgian mule hitch hook up and drive their carriage.
