Lately, she prefers driving single oxen and using the three-pad ox collar developed in Germany over the bow yoke common in the U...

In a corner room of Shelburne Farms’ incredible Breeding Barn, I interviewed Jared Woodcock, Eric Westergard and Rick Eshuis. The indefatigable Caralyn Roeper did our guest introduction. Bear with us on the audio quality; there ...

I think his no-nonsense attitude and incomparable wor...
