    hi, i was just wandering what the usual pole length is for haflingers.  i’m considering making one instead of buying one.

    thanks

    I ran a standard 9’6″ pole (yoke to evener pin) with my halflinger and extended her heel chains b/c I was using her with larger horses.  I would guess 8’6″ would work fine.  To check it, measure from your pole strap to the middle of your trace chains (both as taught as possible) while your horse is harnessed.  A helper would be handy.  That will give you the yoke to evener measurement and then add another foot and a half (minimum) to slide and fix  the pole into the receiver on your implement.

    101″ is pretty standard.  It has worked well on several wagons i’ve built

    It depends on the harness.My draft pony/Halflinger parade/show harness I have to use about a 102″ pole.My son’s father-in-law uses the standard 114″ pole. depend on the length of the tugs.If you want,I can measure my tugs so that you can compare.
