Participantsorry dude but a fjord just dont do it for me but I guess your right you were not asking for any help or tips, you just wanted to show us your draft pony! So I’ll do what I guess I should of done the first time!
Very nice, Looks like you look after him well, I hope you the best in you aventures!!
NeilParticipantsome times you see what to when you think you have the best of something ,you miss the obvious, its just pulling from a differnt angle, pulling down on the tugs still puts weight on the collar, Like I said you cant avoid the weight with any harness!
ParticipantIra post a pic or video of that while pulling!

Neil,
Look and my first response to your post ( I do have a pad for that collar but it is not as big as that pic makes it look, in fact until he slims down a bit the pad makes it to tight. Looking at that pic it sure looks big though. Taylor Johnson ) . I did not even disagree with you. I explained the collar and its situation. Then some one else told me again that the collar was to big. I could see were it was heading as to the nature of these boards so I tried to head it off. I do not doubt your knowledge as a teamster and I am sure you are a well of knowledge with any thing to do with horses. My response to the first post was very reasonable . So if you don’t want to share your knowledge with me direct then that is your choice and I will take this time right know to thank you for your videos and the info that you share on here , so thanks.
These board are a good tool but they are also what is wrong with the world. every body keeps there distance and there is know real personal conversation ( if there is it take years to develop ) . If we were at an auction or at a landing then the conversations would be much different I suspect. Tone of voice and posture are a big part in communication, these board have none of that. Neil if I were some place were you were talking horses you might not know I was there because I would probably just listen unless I was asked a ? I am not a disrespectful person on any level but I will not put some one on a pedestal . To put some one on a pedestal is not even far to the person. If you ask me something I will answer like I did in my first response. My answers my sound short at times but that is not my motive at all, I might be one of the most polite and quite people you will ever meet, that is what I try to be. As far as people with motives of being condescending and putting people down well It is a poor way to be, if that is not your motive than don’t worry . As far as these Pi$$ing contest that I was referring to well people should be careful who they get into one with because they might just get drowned. Taylor Johnson
PS. Neil thanks again for your videos and the info you share on here, I enjoy them very much. And i cant see the fit on the collars in the video or pics but I am sure they are right on. Take careI can!!

The harness had been on that horse about 2 minutes at the point of this pic. there were a lot of adjustment and tweaking that went on. I had to make some more holes in the bottom strap and like I said the collar is a little big but not big enough to put a pad in at this point. Don’t worry boys I ain’t going to junk my own horse by working him in a collar that will lay him up, this is all I do this is how I make my living this is all I do. I put this on him to take a quick pic so I could show the man I got him from his new gear, that is it. It seem to me that people get into a pissing contest on here all the time to see who knows the most about horses , training , Tacking up and what not. There is a lot to be learned here for sure and that is why I am here but this is not my first horse and I do know how to fit a collar and I will keep my horses best interest in mind. There are times when every thing is not perfect for me or om horses. One spring I worked for a week with a collar that was to big and holes in my boots you could stick 2 fingers in so I guess you can say we both had poor gear but we survived and bought knew stuff once we had a few checks coming in. I am not a parade man I don’t do any seminars but I do log with my horses about 6 days a week . I am the fifth generation of person to make a living with horses in my family . I have spent a lot of time and money to travel and learn what I can when ever I can about horses and dogs. So if you want to critique the pic I guess you can but you are going on a couple of pics of some gear that has been on a horse for a matter of minutes. I did not post these pic and say hay boys what do you think of the way this collar fits ain’t it the best , no I did not . I just put the only pics up I had of my horse because i like him and was glad to get a knew harness that is it. Hell we can all set on here and compare who’s dads the toughest and who can run the fastest and jump the farthest , I mean if you really want to wast the time on all of that then lets do it because that is about as much meaning a lot of the stuff I have read on here amounts to. To many times some one post a comment or what ever and gets nit picked for doing it . Guys I won’t play these games at all so don’t even start with me I am a friendly person but if you want to get into a pissing contest don’t bother I have know time for it at all. Taylor Johnson
Sorry for pointing out the obvious!!! if thats the way you feel your on your own from now on!!!
NeilSeptember 21, 2008 at 2:30 pm in reply to: Here is a pic of Brody in his new harnes for the first time #47390Participantunless you have a pad thats not on yet then your collars to big!.
NeilParticipantGlad you injoy, pass the links around to any one you think would like them!
NeilParticipantyes a side check would work but it takes a day or two for them to get used to them, and they will test them hard at lest once, just leave them on and they will stop trying them
ParticipantIf you Have any problems just ask! use a line carrier on the wheelers bridels so they dont get the lead lines in their mouths, I’ll try to put a video on how to hook the unicorn
ParticipantIt works very well but try it on a wagon first then on the spreader, it gives youy more room between the gates to
ParticipantIt is a standard side grinder with a ROTO CLIP blade on it here’s a link to there site,

Thanks, Neil —
My boys are about 600 lbs each, and almost 11 months old. They are as tame as puppies, so that part should be easy! At 120 pounds, am I too heavy for them? How will I know if I am? Should I recruit a neighborhood child? Start with a gunny sack full of beans? Truly, we also do other, more legitimate activities — but this one is too funny to pass by.Victoria
May be a littlle lighter one for the first ride or two then you should be ok to start riding them
NeilParticipantAll my horses are foot broke and stand for the grinder!! this is no excuse for not training your horses right but the best farriers can do 10, 12 at best in a day and would need a day or two before the would return so by the time they were done it would be time to start on the first again. once done I put shoes on who I like and do some corrective triming if I like,
the disk on the grinder in made for hoof with changeable carbide teeth and a tungsten body, nothing sloppy or second rate about it
this is how we do it when you have more than a team and it keeps the cost down to 20.oo ahead and a bonus is its a safe place to do any vet work - AuthorPosts
