Andrew Plotsky, co-owner of Stitchdown Farm, watches as Carl Russell fits Mike the draft horse for a new harness at Stitchdown Farm in Bethel, Vt., on May 21, 2015. Carl has kept Mike and Tom at Stitchdown Farm for the past few months to free up room at his own farm for his other team of horses, and allowing Stitchdown Farm owners Andrew Plotsky and Rita Champion to learn about the care and training of driving horses.
