May 21st: Harness Fitting and More. Open to All
The focus of this clinic is proper fit and safety of the harness and carriage. This is a great opportunity for beginners to get started on the right foot by learning how to maintain harnesses and fit your harness/carriage to your horse. It’s also a great opportunity for experienced drivers to brush up on harness and carriage fit, safety: identifying areas that are worn and need attention. Looking to buy a carriage and/or harness? Jenny will also discuss what to look for in a carriage and/or harness for your driving discipline. |

Sundays – May 8 – June 26 1-4 PM or by Appointment. Museum Exhibit - "Town & Country: Rocking & Rolling Down The Lane"
When summer arrived in New England, various cold weather horse-drawn vehicles were put in the barn loft. Down came the wheeled vehicles for country & city. Country vehicles were much simpler in design than city vehicles. Come see examples of both. The summer exhibit will include a few sleighs for those who didn't see our winter exhibit. Most carriages were constructed for certain jobs. Skyline is showcasing approximately 40 unique business and personal vehicles that would have been used in New England.
