Participantthanks all for the encouragement the battle now is where to invest the little moneys I have harness shop or new sugar house
good indoor winter work vs lots of good work for the horses picking buckets
maybe I need a third option to really mess with my daydreaming

Participantafter reading all these comments about how hard it is to get the type of harness that we in the east like and want I am playing with the idea of setting up my harness shop once again
FOR 15 YEARS BETWEEM 1985 AND 2000 I operated a full service harness shop on my farm in Whitingham Vermont made everything from dring traces to basket britchings and complete harmness as well as repairs closed it down and stored it away when I moved to my present farm and set up an organic dairy now that the farm is established I HAVE MORE TIME for a new project
I quess I am looking for a little push here to invest in materials and get set up again is there enough local interest out there to support this project I have sewing machines and all the necessary hand tools and such would need to convert a space buy leather and beta materials oils and it would be quite an investment feed back pleaseBill Acquaviva

ParticipantI dare say I was the first North Adams State College student to learn to work horses under Ken broke my first colt a bay gelding named Donny under his quidence. I went on to become a professional farrier and raise Percherons for 30 years now I milk organic cows and still work horses only I have changed colors to all red horses(Suffolks) not bad for a kid raised out side of Boston

ParticipantMark I have found those combo machines do one of the two jobs ok and the other poorly Personally I would go with a piece of equipment designed to do the job required have owned two different brands of this type of equipment thinking it would save time gave both of them away
just my two cents
