Are we happy with more? Not always (unless it’s more dirt, in which case there’s a direct translation for some of us dirt hoarders).
Today we bring you an interview from one of our newly-favorite events. Daniel Wengerd, General Coordinator for Horse Progress Days 2021, sits down and talks with us about the planning behind an undertaking like this, and how a team of “Plain People” (you’ll find out what that means if you listen) worked together to create something that is incredibly complex, yet seems so simple. That’s no small feat with something that involves 40,000 people, 400 horses, and 40 tons of manure, among a lot of other interesting things. Okay, so maybe the manure was an estimate, but what little was visible went to good use, we can assure you.
There will be more upcoming podcasts from Horse Progress Days 2021, and we’ll be going back again to this fabulous rotating event, no matter which midwestern vowel state it’s in next year. It’s simply one of the most enjoyable events we’ve covered, with some of the nicest people we’ve met. And they had manure spreaders. Life is good.
