[AT] [JDAT] Slightly OT: horse drawn implements

[charlie hill]

That third video brings back memories.  Not of horse drawn equipment but of 
plowing with 2 14's behind our AC D10 with my dog running in the furrow.  He 
would trot in that furrow all day long, from sun up to sun down.  The only 
time he left the furrow was to chase a field mouse that the plow disturbed 
or to occasionally lay down for a quick rest.  If he did take a rest I 
wouldn't get over 100 yards away before he came running full speed to get 
back in place in the furrow.   I don't think he payed the tractor or plow 
any mind if Daddy was running it but if I was in the seat he was right there 
behind me.  You can't beat a good dog for loyalty.

I recently posted a video of hay loading with horses and one hard working
young lady on the pitchfork.  The guy who sent it to me originally has been
laid up with the flu for a bit so has been posting more of his footage.

The person shooting the pics is more interested in the horses than the
implements, that's not my priority, but there are some good machinery shots
if you see these through to the end.

BTW, Neil admitted to getting a lot of flak for driving the team whilst his
young helper ran the pitchfork.  But he protested that she had insisted, she
said she didn't come out to his place to sit around.  Not sure what kind of
a setup he has but apparently he does a lot of work with youth, getting them
interested in the hobby.  We should all be so diligent.

Anyway, here are 3 posts of many he's sent me.  You can also find the rest
of his stuff once you're on YouTube, if you want more.  Horses, LOL.

Confusion is a higher state of knowledge than ignorance.
