#135 2025 Board of Directors Candidates

Today we’re sitting down with the Flory family — Kevin, his wife, and their kids, Grant and Lauren — who’ve made an exciting return to the show ring with their  Belgian horses. For the Florys, this isn’t just about competition, it’s a family affair built on hard work, teamwork, and a lifelong passion for draft horses.Kevin’s story is impressive in its own right — as a high school student, he was already running his own business with employees on the payroll. That same drive and determination shows up today in how his family works together to build and grow their Belgian program and maintain their family business.We’ll talk about what brought them back to the show ring, the lessons they’ve learned along the way, and how they balance business, family, and a whole lot of horsepower.Thank you to our sponsors of Episode #137!Shipshewana Harness & Supplies Glenwood Snacks Pennwoods Equine Products INC. The Draft Horse Journal Saginaw Valley Equine ClinicSummit Professional ServicesDo you have suggestions for future episodes?
