In September, the Draft Horse Club demonstrates how corn was harvested using horses. The weather is usually brilliant and spectators are welcome to join in the fun by helping load and unloading wagons with corn stalks that have been cut by horse drawn corn binders. The purpose of the New York State Draft Horse Club is to promote the use of, and ownership of, Shire, Clydesdale, Percheron, Belgian, Suffolk, and Haflinger horses. Our goal is to increase the number of people who responsibly own and enjoy draft horses. The New York State Draft Horse Club sponsors a wide variety of projects each year designed to introduce the public to draft horses and to help new draft horse owners learn how to enjoy draft.
