Same reason that Bella kicked the ball of my left foot(don’t ask) with her front foot. I had it in the wrong place at the wrong time,doing something I shouldn’t have. Hurts like H–L!!!!!!!!

That’s a very good routine,short hard work one day,long easier work the next.
Builds muscle and stamina.

JMHO; Do both, aerobic one day, anaerobic the next,and then a day off. just as an example. When my son was in 4-H he did barrels and poles.his exercise program was; running patterns in the ring one day, a good long trail ride the next(and I don’t mean on a groomed trail),then a day off,and start all over the next day. the horse was in excellent condition, he could race him all day at a competition and he didn’t even breath hard.

As for sled or log,depends.If you are conditioning just the body,use the sled. I you are conditioning the mind and body,use the log. You can use the sled and treat it like a log,hook,unhook,positioning and all that stuff.Or,you can use the log and actually get a little work done while your at it.

Like I said at the beginning, JMHO.

Personally, I don’t think you really need it. It is needed when you have to hold a line, such as plowing or planting. I spread manure, rake and ted hay on some pretty steep hillsides and have never needed it. JMHO

I use an old chest freezer to store my horse feed.I never had any problems.I will say that I have a very dry feed mix.Took the horses about a week to get use to it but now they love it.It’s a blend that my son came up with especially for draft horses.Keeps very well.

I know this is kind of an old thread but I just found this site a few weeks ago. Just an observation,tall tires will roll a lot easier,also narrow tires will roll easier and go through the mud easier also. JMHO

Not a hayseed,that’s how we learn. Just make sure that it’s not something that will get you or your horses hurt….

Fogish KC33, I had a single pony cart and made a hitch for the back of it.I built a seat in a garden cart to pull behind it. Worked good. Buttercup(12 hh pony) use to pull ma and I in the pony cart and the two boys in the garden cart all over the place…Ma and I aren’t little either.
