    That bobsled must pull pretty hard to need 12 head to pull a load of people. Just kidding I see the wheelers are the only ones pulling the other traces are slack. I guess it’s something to play with on a winter day.

    Its a dead hitch so you can make all pull but not worth it for a day. You can see I have the buck back shortened up so they can only keep the ropes from dragging, keeps the lines light as well, important on a cold day!!

    Its more than just fun as well, we take part in a few good fundraiser sleigh rallies, and our big hitches are a real attraction which brings in much needed funds, The oldest is 13 but there are 2 two years olds and 6 mares that raise foals all summer and miss the work so we drive them in the winter, some of them only get drove once a year and still drive like they have been at it all year. the first 4 can pull and some times that’s not quit enuff with all the riders in deep snow. this rally was in Lloydminster and it raises over 10.000 every year for Cancer victims. We add 2 every year but I had to buy another trailer last year to get them all there and next year I’ll have to pick up an older Hyway tractor with a big 53’er or it will break me in fuel! I dont just drive them in a strat line ether, I fan them and lope them and back them up!!
