Coltrain’s Mules and Furnish Farms will host three days of activities for mules, horses, and teams at the Newtown Saddle Club Arena next month.
Activities will begin August 3rd with cattle events, including steer dobbing, ranch ropin’, and steer doctoring. David Stutzman of Rocky Timber Horse Training and Shoeing will provide the steers.

On August 5th, there will be a cowboy church with Tom Rowland, an obstacle course for riders followed by teams and wagons, and a mule jump.
