    I got a good deal on an evener yoke set today and I didnt have a measuring tape with me. When I got home and measured it I realized that it might be a little small. Is a 36 inch evener with 28in single trees too small for chunky 16 hand horses on a wagon?

    Thanks

    While some like wider eveners for full sized drafts in some situations, 36″ certainly work and are also common in many situations. For a wagon specifically one thing you want is a few inches between the single trees. It sounds to me like the double tree you found will have about 8″ inside the ends of the single trees which is enough to keep them from roughing up the tongue.

    Thanks Donn. I did a better search and saw a few posts where you had said you used 36 inch regularly. I just wansnt sure how to delete my original post.

    Thanks Again

    The main thing to make sure is that the neck yoke and evener lengths coincide.
