SAXON - The Meyer Farm's Belgian Horses once
again entertained audiences at the Iron County Fair. The Meyer's
show is a perennial crowd pleaser at the Saxon Fairgrounds.
The
pyramid hitch is unique in that no horse is right in front of another.
The horses are set up like "bowling pins". Four horses are on the wheel (back
closest to the wagon), three line up for the swing, two in the point, and one out in
front.
Putting all this together requires
a lot of time and manpower, and that is why the whole Meyer family is involved
with showing the Belgian horses. Everyone pitches in to put on an exhibition for
spectators
to enjoy. Randy Meyer is the primary driver. Son Kurt has also taken the lines a
time or two.
The other kids and grandkids in the Meyer
family help to pitch in and prepare the horses for the show.
Before and after the show people are welcome to visit with the
family and horses
The Meyer's and their horses are from the
Loyal, Wisconsin area.
