LAKEPORT >> The Hooves and Wheels Driving Club drill team will be performing at the Fiesta of the Horse.
About a half-dozen members of the club have been practicing for the last few weeks with their miniature horses and ponies at Argonaut Farm in Lakeport. They meet weekly practicing a routine they have jointly created and have paired with music.
“Learning and practicing the drill is fun and teaches drivers and their ponies many skills,” club member Jaxan Christensen stated. “Last year”s routine was well received by the crowd and they (club members) are looking forward to performing their new routine this year at the event.”
The Hooves and Wheels Driving Club is an horse driving club that meets monthly, offering clinics and hosting drives and other events. The members drive everything from draft horses down to miniature horses and the events are open all equestrians, ridden or driven, Christensen stated.
The Fiesta of the Horse will be part of Californio Days being held at Rancho de la Fuente on July 27. The event will celebrate history and agricultural heritage with music, food, arts and crafts. The horse show is free-of-charge and will begin at 10:30 a.m.
