Dl4-Lanc«ster Farming, Saturday, May 18, 1996 Belgian Team To Appear Earl In E-Town, East GREENDALE, Wis. Coun try’s Reminisce Hitch, the first six-horse hitch ever to walk the entire distance across the United States from Maine to California, will soon be making an appear ance in Lancaster County. The hitch will be at the Eliza bethtown Fairgrounds in Eliza bethtown, Pa. on Saturday, May 2S. During the appearance, the six champion Belgians will be har nessed and driven by David Hel muth, allowing him and his wife, Vikki, to show local folks first hand why this team was named the “No, 1 Six-Horse Hitch in Ameri ** ca. The horses will be on display from 12 p.m.- S p.m. At about 3 p.m., David Helmuth will present a short program and, weather per mitting, the horses will be in har ness for driving around 4 p.m. The hitch is owned by Country and Reminisce, two of nine maga zines published by Reiman Publi cations of Greendale, Wis. Throughout its travels, the hitch has always recognized and hon ored senior citizens even its bright red wagon exhibits a bold “We’re Pulling for Seniors!” slo gan. In turn, seniors feel a special affinity for the big horses, often harking back to the days when they or their family worked the land with draft horse teams. Typically. Helmuth gives away a number of prizes at each per formance to the oldest person attending, to the person who tra veled the farthest, etc. He also an swers questions from the crowd and reminisces about the team’s unhurried walk from Kennebunk port, Maine to San Diejgo, Calif. In all, the 16-month trip through J 18 states covered more than 3,800 miles, and the horses walked every step of the way. The team and crew averaged about 10 miles a day, six days a week, resting on Sundays. They made special stops at senior centers all along the route. Since that historic trip, the hitch has traveled even farther in their colorful semi-trailer last year their travels around the United States covered 23,000 miles, al most equaling the distance around the earth. The giant Belgians, which weigh over a ton each, have thou sands of enthusiastic fans who closely followed the accounts in the Reiman magazines describing the team’s trek across America. Many of the magazines’ subscrib ers have come to know each horse by name and regard them as “their” horses. PHONE: 717-626-1164 or 717-394-3047 PAX 717-733-6058 Mon., Tuch., Wed., Pil. 8 AM to 5 PM; Thun. 7 AM to 5 PM As a result, the editors often re fer to the horses as “the only six horse hitch in the world co-owned by over 12 million people!” These “owners” often drive hundreds of miles to see, meet and pet the gi ant steeds, and this will likely be the case when the hitch appears in Elizabethtown. The team’s cross-country walk along rural roads was aimed at re cognizing senior citizens. In all, they gave rides to more than 50,000 people mostly seniors in the hitch’s custom-made red wagon, adding meaning to the wagon’s bold slogan. Vlkkl and David Helmuth, shown here with the Dalmatian hitch mascot, are In charge of the daily operations of Coun try’s Reminisce Hitch. They were married during its 1993-1994 Journey across the United States, and regard the rest of the trip as the most memorable honeymoon imagin able.
