Very nice. It beats having hooks on the wall. Now you got me thinking again.

How about some pictures? I know easier said than done. I have trouble posting them myself. But a couple pictures may help.

[Marshall]

Ed, Thanks for the info. I am definitly going to check them out.

[Marshall]

Thanks for the responses. I called Meaders and ordered one. I hope it helps. My Dad had a hard time fastening the straps so I thought this might be easier.

When I am hooking I keep the lines draped over my arm that is closest to the horses. I don’t hold them I just drape them my arm. That way If I need to grab them I can.

Very nice! I am jelous.

Nice looking horse. What I wouldn’t give for a team like that!

John I am sure your ketchup tasted better and was healthier. I feel the same about money and time with the family. I told my boss I am not fond of working saturdays. He asked “Is it a money thing?” and I said yes. To me the time spent with my family is worth more than the money I can make driving twenty miles each way to work for three hours. He just couldn’t understand that and three and a half years later I still drive in every other saturday. I can’t wait to grow produce full time and quit my day job. Thats enough ranting now.

I too made a donation. I hope the project pans out OK.

This is why I am trying to teach my girls as much as I can about being able to take care of themselves. Not that I know everything, but it is amazing how few people know about working with horses and doing farm work without all the fancy machinery. Emily(7) will soon be taking riding lessons. Before she was always a little timid about working with the horses. Now she is more always wanting to go out and work with Chester the horse. She can also do all of the chores for the cats, cows and horses by herself. Erica(4) is already trying to do everything that big sister does but she is a little small yet. I keep telling my wife at this rate we are going to have a couple girls that can out work the boys. I am one proud father!

I would also like to know how they work out if that is what you get. In a couple years I would like to start a peach orchard. I think sheep would work well to keep the grass mowed. One less job for me!

[Marshall]

I have to agree with you Tim.

I really like the “Krappy Food Company”. That says it all about their mushy mac and cheese.

[Marshall]

John, I think you did a great job. Do you just pull the rope to lift it or is it hooked to the ratcheting lever on the side of your forecart? It looks to be strong but fairly light. I have a tendancy to build things heavier than they need to be. I will second the vote for beautiful scenery and add that it is a nice team also.

[Marshall]

Sounds like a great idea to me!
