Jean,
She has been trained with a whip originally. Shes really sensitive though and I found that the whip was distracting her and making my hands too busy for her. When I say I “slap” her with the line…..I do not really mean slap. It is a gentle touch but enough that she understands to move out. Perhaps I need to totally rethink that….but it might be so ingrained now. Anyway..I’m sure she feels it in the bit but it really is quite subtle. I am most definitely not tee hawing on the lines!! Maybe carrying a longer whip that could touch her neck would work. I would have to start slow. Good thoughts keep em coming!

Carl….Vermontville. Near Saranac Lake.
Jean….I would like to try to make it to some events. My husband is a forester but a reluctant horseman so Iwould like to show him how well they combine!

Jean,
Fabulous! I have 2 mares that are bigger, a bit, at 10.2HH. We are learning to work together to pull logs, haul manure in a sled etc. We are working single, but I have aspirations to work as a pair eventually. I’m sure I’m going to have a ton of questions about putting them together.

Fogish, I have harness from Chimicum Tack. Love it. Comfy Fit it’s called. And, you can add collar and hames to the pleasure driving harness without having to have a complete work harness separately. I have a dump cart that gets pulled behind a riding mower or ATV, and want a forecart eventually to pull that with. There is a site Willowtrail Farms, I believe, that shows a modified dump cart with shafts on it, if someone has welding skills.
