Hi to all our Stable Talk readers. We hope you are all well during this difficult time. Our good friends, Iaian and Michelle Fricker have been generous enough to share with us some information about the Victorian Working Draught Horse Association (VWDHA) and we wanted to pass it on.
The VWDHA was formed in 1981 and was originally known as The Horse Pulling Association. Their aims are as follows:
- To promote the Working Draught Horse by preserving its heritage, creating awareness and providing assistance on care, handling and working of draught horses. They also aim to ensure continued displays of working draught horses to members of the association and the public alike.
- To facilitate events including static displays, working displays, parades, drives, meetings, education days and social activities and to foster the education of draught horse enthusiasts.
- To bring together a fellowship of members with a common interest.
They also foster the relationship between draught horses and other working horses by supporting the ridden horse within the Association.
