Waynesburg, Greene horse judging at the 60th
William Messcrschmidt showed the reserve
grand champion in Belgian horse show com
petition. The five-year-old mare is used for some
farm work, but primarily for pulling wagons for
hayrides and parades. The animal belongs to Mr.
and Mrs. H. Edgar Messcrschmidt of Myerstown,
who say that interest in draft horses has picked up
a lot in recent years. The Messerschmidts have had
Belgians since 1952 and note that the Bicentennial
celebration is sparking greater interest in them.
“They’re making money, or I wouldn't have them,”
the elder Messcrschmidt said.
