    Donn,
    Sounds like a fun day! Even though I have three boys, 12, 10, and 7, the idea of an Amish assistant sounds rather appealing! Looking forward to that video…

    Eli,
    It’s always nice to enjoy the hard work when it pays off! One of my sons (10 years old) works with the horses with me and I LOVE that time we spend together. I was curious as to why your lines aren’t long enough to drive from the sled and when I saw your picture, I’m not sure how it is hitched up. Does the sled have a pole? I’m relatively new, but have never seen a pole after the whiffletree…just curious…
    Respectfully,

    So I recently bought a forecart at an Amish auction and all of my skidding problems were solved! I love the information posted on these forums!

    P.S. – Donn, I will call you about visiting when things seem to slow down here. I also purchased a horse drawn reel lawn mower at the same auction that you might find interesting!

    Donn,
    You always have a good perspective. I do believe I have a haflinger that needs to be desensitized to the sound of the evener!

    P.S.- someday I’d like to make it to your farm, it’s not too far.

    Nice pictures! It is always exciting when the family grows…even more so when you have planned it!

    I am in Oneonta and have a team of haflingers that are looking for some work. Where in Oneonta are you and when does this need to be done?

    Well it certainly benefits a new teamster to be a part of such discourse! I have explored all of the options presented and found that the yoke was a tad bit high on her side. Lowering that, telling her to “quit” during undesirable behavior, working her more, and building our relationship has improved the situation. Haven’t quite figured out the side checks yet; not sure how to attach to the saddle.

    Thank you all for your input. I look forward to improving with your help.

    I was thinking she might have been bored. She had already snagged a line, but I thought it must have been my fault…the bridle I have has side checks, so I guess I’ll figure out how to use them. I had read somewhere that over and side checks can be harsh, but I know they had them before.
    Thanks for your help…

    Welcome. I was raised around quarter horses, and trail riding. My grandfather was the teamster. Can you tell me sir what a hafliger is. I have heard them called ponies. What size are they? Thank you sir.

    Haflingers are a short draft horse from Austria. If you click on the picture in the first post, you will see a picture of them.
