    I do like your style! All the pictures & videos I have seen from you all have some really nice horses, too. Black Percherons, a man after my own heart. 🙂

    Wow, that looks very efficient! The problem that I have always seen with using horses is that it is so hard or impossible to find good horse drawn equipment and parts. But I have been seeing a lot of modified implements in magazines and on the internet that are much more reliable and efficient, which makes me very excited. I like to fabricate and invent things, so I can’t wait to start building. I really like the original horse drawn equipment and would like to use any pieces that I can. But it is very nice to know that you can use many different modified tractor drawn implements to get the work down efficiently.

    Thanks Neil for posting these pictures. I really appreciate them for several reasons.
    1. They show a farm that is well managed, by someone who is serious about his work.
    2. They show and excellent crop, the result of a series of well timed and effective tasks.
    3. They show a practical example of using draft horses that a major portion of those interested in farming with horses can actually use.
    4. They show the well trained use of equipment in good shape to perform a chore done with an eye toward excellence.
    5. They show well conditioned horses in top-notch outfit.
    6. They show the teamster working alone.
    7. They show, although the teamster would NEVER suggest this, and actually teaches NOT to do this, a team of working horses conditioned to stand without someone holding the lines so that the teamster can accomplish an important task.

    Thanks Neil, I hope to see more contributions like this one, Carl
