On October 1, 2026, A few dozen Amish people set out by horse and wagon from a Leacock Township farm in Lancaster County on a commemorative journey. They were headed about 30 miles north to the Nicholas Stoltzfus Homestead in Wyomissing, Berks County – a two-day trip with an overnight campout along the way.

I will give my thoughts before posting photos of horses and buggies.

MY THOUGHTS:
“History does not survive by accident. It survives because people care enough to preserve it.”
I do love watching horses and buggies, as the quote above said, I realize that the Lancaster Amish due to their 4 core values of the Anabaptist Trio: faith, family, community and simple life, are also proud of their heritage. Despite, the 30 miles journey, they persevere and reached their journey.

A commemorative 30-mile horse-and-covered-wagon caravan of Amish travelers from Lancaster County arrived in Berks County this weekend to celebrate regional heritage. and they came through the parking lot here at the PA Dutch Farmers Market of Wyomissing around 5 PM this afternoon. We hope you had a chance to see this, but if not, here are a few photos for you to enjoy. https://amishamerica.com/amish-caravan-30-mile-journey-lancaster-county-to-historic-homestead/ [ALBUM SOURCE: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19SQVBWqjE/] |
I noticed that the Lancaster Amish are riding horses, as not all the Amish subgroups allow horse riding but only driving horses. As Ex-Amish Preacher, Eli Yoder explained:
Some communities put on very interesting shows to show off how well women and men have trained their horses.
In the conservative old order Amish we were strictly forbidden to ride horses, bareback or a saddle, because it was considered too worldly like the westerns to ride a horse, but then went to Mount Hobe OHIO for auctions and realized that many other Amish are in fact riding horses. It always baffled me for why our Amish community could not get to heaven by riding horses, but other Amish could get to heaven by riding horses. I also disqualified for Amish baptism for riding a bicycle, but then we seen all those Amish in Holmes County riding bicycles
this just once again shows you how different each community is with their own rules that they apply to their people. It’s all organized, man-made religion, rather than what the Bible says.
This shows each Amish community is different and have different rules. I am glad that the Lancaster Amish allow horse riding and more freedom.

Königsstuhl (17 May 1976 – 1995) was a German thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In 1979 he won the German Triple Crown and is the first horse that won all the races necessary for this crown. Since 1979 no other horse has won the crown. In addition to racing success, he was named German horse of 1979 and was German champion sire in 1988 and 1994.

Secretariat (March 30, 1970 –
October 4, 1989) was a champion American thoroughbred racehorse who was the ninth winner of the American Triple
Crown, setting and still holding the fastest time record in all three of
its constituent races. He is widely considered to be the greatest racehorse of
all time. He became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and his
record-breaking victory in the Belmont Stakes, which he won by 31 lengths,
is often considered the greatest race ever run by a thoroughbred racehorse.
During his racing career, he won five Eclipse
Awards, including Horse of the Year honors at ages two and
three. He was nominated to the National Museum of Racing
and Hall of Fame in 1974. In the Blood-Horse
magazine List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century,
Secretariat was second to Man o' War. At age two, Secretariat
finished fourth in his 1972 debut in a maiden race, but then won
seven of his remaining eight starts, including five stakes victories. His only
loss during this period was in the Champagne Stakes, where he
finished first but was disqualified to second for interference. He received the
Eclipse
Award for champion two-year-old colt, and
also was the 1972 Horse of the Year, a rare honor for a
horse so young. At age three,
Secretariat not only won the Triple Crown, but he also set speed records in all
three races. His time in the Kentucky
Derby still stands as the Churchill
Downs track record for 1+1⁄4 miles, and his time in the Belmont Stakes
stands as the American record for 1+1⁄2 miles on the dirt. In 2012, his actual
time of 1:53 in the Preakness Stakes was recognized as a stakes record
after an official review. Secretariat's win in the
Gotham
Stakes tied the track record for 1 mile, he set a world record in the Marlboro
Cup at 1+1⁄8 miles and further proved his versatility by winning two major
stakes races on turf. He lost three times that year: in the Wood
Memorial, Whitney, and Woodward
Stakes, but the brilliance of his nine wins made him an American icon. He
won his second Horse of the Year title, plus Eclipse Awards for champion
three-year-old colt and champion turf horse. At the beginning of his
three-year-old year, Secretariat was syndicated for a record-breaking $6.08 million (equivalent
to $44.1 million in 2025), on the condition that he be retired from racing
by the end of the year. Although he sired several successful racehorses, he
ultimately was most influential through his daughters' offspring, becoming the leading broodmare sire in North
America in 1992. His daughters produced several notable sires, including Storm Cat,
A.P. Indy,
Gone West,
Dehere, Summer
Squall, and Chief's Crown, and through them Secretariat appears
in the pedigree of many modern champions. Secretariat died in 1989 as a result
of laminitis
at age 19. https://www.history.com/articles/secretariat-facts-racehorse
"Outlined against a blue, gray October sky the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as famine, pestilence, destruction and death. These are only aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds this afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down upon the bewildering panorama spread out upon the green plain below."
