I don’t know how big these guys are or the build so it’s hard to tell.Mowing would be the hardest thing you mentioned,you wouldn’t want much over a 4ft. bar.As far as the other stuff,you have to load to the size of your horses.I’ve seen a mini pull two people in a cart,as long as it was good going.

P.S. Are you right in Rochester or where? I live outside of Lowville,N.Y. ,if you know where that is.About 150 from you.

Is that east of Watertown ?

So they could do a little garden plowing and wood hauling? Mowing? They’d certainly be able to pull a small pleasure cart, my dog is big enough to pull a one passenger cart.

I knew a guy that had a 40in 1 horse mower, with shafts for sale. 5-6 hundred if I remember right. thought it was a little steep. might go for less if he still has it.

You could put a pole on that one horse and use your two.hard to tell what “small riding horse” is.do you know the breed and how tall,pic’s. would be good. Lowville is south-east of Watertown on route 12.

I think I need time for the idea to grow on me before I invest in any equipment. I’d need to invest in harnesses, lines, and a double tree, and see them just do some basic work pulling wood before I invested in equipment.
