Horse Dyno?

[PeytonM]

This is going to sound kind of silly maybe but ever since I’ve started in this world of draft horses and draft power I’ve always wanted to know what on avg. a conditioned animal could pull with out the soil, ground or terrain factoring the out come. I use to run around guy who was big in the pulling end of things, I feel thats all he did with his horses but anyways at these pulls I know that how wet or dry the soil was played a roll in how much weight the horses would really pull.

Is there any way that you would be able to hitch a horse on a roll of cable or rope safely and have a way to put resistance against it like a pto or belt pully for a tractor? I know that the horses mind has a lot to do with how much it would pull but just thought it would be kind of a cool idea.

if you had the roll of cable or rope and had that connected to a drum with a brake and for “x” amount of pressure the brake would apply that would figure out to “X” amount of weight?
