Buying a Horse from the Amish

Support our efforts by sourcing your Wood-Fired, Organic, Pure, Vermont Maple Syrup from https://ruggedridgeforest.com/ !

While growing our team of standardbred/percherons, we've returned to Ohio to buy a second horse from our Amish friend we met at the last auction. We use these horses to log in order to produce our wood-fired, organic, pure Vermont maple syrup.
This video is a lot of voice over and B-roll. While I asked Andy's permission to film, I did not want to stick a camera in his face or record every moment of our interactions together. Instead I've recounted the tale of our experiences over videos of us collecting the horse, Hugo, that I ultimately purchased.
This video also includes a section demonstrating our friend Andy haltering this 2 year old for the first time and breaking him to lead. He puts on an impressive display of Amish horsemanship!
