Team Conditioning

[back-forty]

In preperation for spring field work I hooked a large tractor tire behind the forecart and headed down the driveway and out on to the township gravel road. After covering a half mile or so we stoped for a short breather and a young man pulled up in his car to thank me for the effort to grade the rather rough road. Not wanting to offend the local township maintenance folks I explained that I was simply work the team a little and not doing road maintenance although looking back over the section we had covered there did seem to be some benefit besides excercise for the team.

The tire of education.
My sons have a little pony team that they have used to do all the chores this year. Feeding 75 head of cattle a day in various bunches. You should see how hard a pair of 450 lb ponies can get. They are tougher than I had ever imagined a team could get.

My kids think a really good evening is going for a tire ride wile I exercise the horses. Can’t wait untill they are old enough to hook thier ponies and enjoy the pride of a hard working pair.:)
