First thing I would do is find out if it is legal in your state,county,town.If not,no sense going any farther. JMHO

I think that horses are just like people,each one is different.They will do certain things better than others and another horse will be just the opposite.Not that you can’t plow with a hitch horse or hitch with plow horse,but they will do one or the other a lot better.I know you can barrel race a draft and you can mow with a quarter horse,just not as good or efficient. It doesn’t have to be different breeds,just there temperament and actions can make a big difference.That being said,you can train just about any horse to do what you want,just maybe not as good or efficient as another horse.

Sometimes the mutts are the best, dogs or horses. My son has a team of bay Percheron/Belgian mares and he loves them. But,just like dogs,I don’t think it’s the breed so much as the individual animal and the training. I have a Rottweiler that is a “wuss”. JMHO

Kind of a heavy dew this morning. The sun came out really nice in the early afternoon but clouded up about 3 o’clock. You’re right,not a good drying day. LOL

I think I treat my dog the same way.When we go for a walk and he pulls on me I pull back,when he eases back he gets his reward,a slack or slacker leash. With a 110lb. Rottweiler you don’t want him pulling on the leash all the time. Same with a 2000lb. horse. JMHO

There’s a fine line between green and dry, and green and “burn your barn down”. just make sure it’s “dry”. JMHO

It’s bad up north,just nowhere near as wide-spread as in ’98.

I’m far from an expert on logging but I would give it a little while to make sure everything is down that’s going to come down. Unless there is a reason(emergency),I would wait a while and let some of the ice melt off. JMHO

Right back at you Carl,and Merry Christmas to everyone on this forum.

I see what you mean,I guess I was just thinking about the transfer while pulling and not while backing. Duh.

I forgot,I don’t know if that would help any on your problem with the three abreast yoke.

Just a question about D ring harness. All D rings I have seen hook to the yoke like a side-backer.Is there any reason why you couldn’t have a D ring set up with belly backers? You could still have the tugs work on the D ring principle.Just a thought.
