This is Prissy and Dolly. We use our Horses to get back into the backcountry for Rifle Season. Miles and Miles from Nowhere where there are no 4 wheelers or vehicles. They all are prohibited except horses, bicycles or walking.

This is a little short video I recorded yesterday when we were working with our horses. It doesnt look it but this is a steep hill they are pulling. This is only the 2nd time we have had Prissy (spotted Horse) in the harness. This is where good genetics come into play. We added a tree behind the wagon so they would have a little more to pull. They drug that log for about 10 miles yesterday.

Thats pretty cool. You know we are now going to expect plenty of action photos, and your phone does just fine. :biggrin:
That's cool Hidehunter good luck on your hunt.cc
I heard you say you were too fat for that walk. :laf: You coulda tied that extra log around your waist and pulled er up there for a lil workout. :eyebrow:
Where'd you get those school bus seats anyway? :laf:
Neat looking draft horses. Seeing the harness - do you work them in the fields?

We logged with them one year and let me tell ya, that was alot of work. We dont work them in the fields though. I wish we did sometimes though. If we did the horses wouldnt be so soft. Gonna go hitch them tomorrow to. That harness isnt our good one. It actually is a little small for this team. It was just the one we had on hand that day. I wouldnt use this harness if I was asking the horses to pull a heavy load or it would make them sore.
