Participantsimple physics would say that stepping in cadence would allow the load to stop for an immeasureable millisecond, between the steps, whilst not being in cadence would allow the load to be in continuous motion, due to the fact that a leg would be in contact with the groound continuously.
ParticipantA head yoke would solve any head throwing issues, and solve some of issues with where they carry their heads, especially with boom pole for getting started.
Participantshort pulls and short rest will build the neck muscle, it appears the bows are a little too low, but more over from reading your posts, it is just a lack or condition, surely your on the right track to fix all that. Lastly don’t be in a hurry to go up a size in yokes, a snug yoke like a snug collar is better than one a size too large. keep up the good work.
ParticipantI hooked these with a single cable and pulley system, similar to the rope and pulley system used by some multiple horse teams, so they don’t need any more headland than a single team. It was 84 degrees when these videios were shot, in Georgia spring “sprang” straight to summer temps.
Participantthese are some of the uncovered ones solid and twisted, they come in everal color combinations, with lashes.
ParticipantI have a half dozen plastic or wooden, if you want plastic ones email me droverone@Aol.com

ParticipantIf any place else in the world has dirt as hard as this red clay I have pity on your animals and equipment! some placesin this field the plow would not even scrath the surface!
