Aim

A group of 5 volunteers will be trained to assist in teaching horses; Various materials are purchased, such as a farm wagon, trailer, shelter in the meadow and harness.

Next year a foal will be born, which will then have to be called. It is expected to take about five years to master the necessary skills and further teach the horses before a two-horse work can be carried out. Meanwhile, others are being trained who want to work with horses in agriculture.
