Work horses, like all horses, according to Keyser, learn fast. Within three days, Ke can have them trained, although stamina is something that takes time to build, Keyser cautions.
Perhaps Keyser’s true test of knowledge with work horses came just a few months ago when he traveled to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, hoping to talk with some of the Amish, who do all their farming by hand, horse or teams.
As soon as they realized Keyser knew what he was talking about, he was invited over evenings just to talk. The Amish, Keyser says, purchase their horses broken and able to work long days in the fields. He was able to give them some tips on common problems, like teaching a horse that has only worked in a team how to work alone.
“I’d work horses here every day and just do away with the tractor if I could,” Keyser says, gesturing with a sweeping hand over a field at Hawthorne that spreads like carpet beneath the splender of Old Rag Mountain. “I love to work horses.”
