April 12 is the birthday of Brooklyn Supreme, one of the biggest draft horses in history. To remember the horse on his birthday, I will post 3 videos about Amish horse auction before I give my thoughts on why I love watching horse auction.

Meet Brooklyn Supreme, One of the Biggest Horses in History On April 12, 1928, a special foal was born on the Earle Brown farm near Minneapolis, Minnesota that would become a worldwide sensation of his time. Brooklyn Supreme, as his name suggests, rose to fame due to his monumental size. While he might’ve seemed intimidating to those who met him in person, the mighty beast was gentle in spirit. Brooklyn Supreme was a purebred Belgian Draft stallion with above-average measurements. Affectionately called “Brookie”, he was a beautiful red roan color with a flaxen mane and tail.

I did a little interview with my friend Ben as we drove to an auction in Lancaster County. Ben belongs to the Old Order Amish church in Lancaster County. He shares some insights on the Amish & auctions and we have a few laughs as he recounts one funny story in particular.

Support our efforts by sourcing your Wood-Fired, Organic, Pure, Vermont Maple Syrup from https://ruggedridgeforest.com/ ! In order to log with horses for our wood-fired maple syrup, we get our horses from an Amish Auction in Mount Hope, Ohio. Buying from an Amish Auction could be intimidating, so in this video we give you a glimpse into the process while talking about some of our successes as well as the lessons we've learned.

MY THOUGHTS:
There are a couple of reasons why I love watching Amish horse auction. First, it is because of the 4 core values of the Anabaptist Trio: faith, family, community and simple life - Amish Horse Auction brings the Amish and Mennonite communities together, where apart from purchasing new horses, they get together as though they are having a social event like watching a ball game.
Second, as an animal lover, I love admiring horses, especially how they move around. In addition, I love to see how the Amish and Mennonites either ride on the horses or move with them on their buggies. It is entertaining.
Hopefully, in the future, I hope to go for a horse auction. As I live in Australia, maybe I will ask the McCallum family if they want to buy a horse in the future in Tasmania. See this video from Magic Millions, a horse auction company in Australia:
