timmy b 10 #27 Posted March 3, 2012 My Dad's 2 horses went at his and my Mom's estate auction at a time when I did not have a need nor could afford them. I still kick myself and really wish I had "his" horses. Nevertheless, I have since acquired my own 2 horses simply because he was a wheel horse guy...and so am I!

jpmcleod 4 #30 Posted March 6, 2012 Chip came over yesterday and it is nice to meet someone in my area with a Wheel Horse connection. Really a nice guy to meet. Hope he and I can can work on our tractors together. I only hope to pass mine down to my family some day (but not real soon) and they become more interested in them and preserve the Wheel Horse connection. Chip, you and your family are welcome here anytime. Got to help you get ready for the Florida Flywheelers event this year and we will take our horses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
