History of the club
The first meeting of the SCIDH&MA was held in Osceola, Iowa in August 1984. Since that time the group has grown to more than 120 member families that are dedicated to using draft horses and mules in harness for farm work, logging, shows, parades and pleasure.
The SCIDH&MA sponsors draft horse clinics and informal shows that include "hands-on" harnessing, hitching, driving with an experienced teamster as well as instruction on how to prepare your draft horse or mule for the show ring. This event has had great success over the past several years and we invite you to join us again this year. See the "Events Page for dates and times.
An article about the September 2007 New Virginia Draft Horse and Mule clinic and show was featured in the Winter '07/'08 issue of the Draft Horse Journal and was also printed in the Summer 2008 issue of Apples 'n Oats magazine.
Draft Horse Show - Warren County Fair, Indianola, IA
For the past several years, members of the South Central Iowa Draft Horse and Mule Association run the draft horse show at the Warren County Fair, Indianola, IA. The event is usually the end of July each year and has several different hitch classes. Here's a link to a video of the 2008 team class:
