ParticipantWelcome Chickade to the best draft animal web site.

ParticipantThank you, I haven’t had a chance to read through all the sites yet but this is a great start.

ParticipantThank you all for the kind words and a sense of reassurance that I did the right thing. Last night was a very hard one for us, so I was second guessing my every word. Today things seem better. We are all adjusting.
Like I said we have always been honest with Abraham. He knows that for us to be able to eat burger and steaks that cattle need to die, and he understands that we will one day eat the chickens we raise, and daddy hunts deer for food, but when it was our pet it hit real hard for all of us. And I probable wasn’t as strong as I should have been in front of him, so he picked up on my reaction.
I think in the end this will make us closer and hopefully stronger. Again, Thank you all when I logged on this morning and read the responses they lifted some of my guilt.
Thank you,
Richardreb

ParticipantI started my season with a real nice buck in my scope, the same one I have been hunting for the last couple of years, and I blew the shot. Maybe next time, but truth be told I just love being in the woods.
Happy Hunting,

ParticipantWe spent the day at the Windsor fair today. It has to be one of the best in Maine, IMO second only to Fryburg. We had alot of fun in our show, and even got to sneak off for a minute to watch the steers obstacle course. Here is a couple pictures of me in the draft pony cart class.

ParticipantLeslie,
I am glad to hear the mowing is working out with your Haflinger, I still havn’t used mine yet. How about some pics?

ParticipantI don’t have any pros or cons of small houses, but when we build our new house it will be a smaller one. You may have already seen the Katrina cottages, but if not here is a link to them. They seem to offer alot of living in a small space, and even though they were designed for the Gulf coast with a little work I think they would fit in to any New England village.

ParticipantWow what great weather the last two days, we got all our hay in monday. My 3yo son even helped, he moved the empty wagons….

Leslie, You are way ahead of me mowing, I am yet to hitch it up, but soon. We use our horse for everything from showing at the fairs in cart, to riding on trail rides and everything I can think of around the farm(hauling firewood, culivating, slip scoop work, soon mowing.)
Now I have a question and a idea. First the question I am setting up this mower and set the lead on the bar at 3/4″ does this sound right, it is a 4′ bar?
Now my idea, I was thinking(hoping) that maybe one of you guys with a mower might post a short video of your mowers and do a walkaround of it and talk about what everything dose how to adjust and safty issues. There is a few short videos on youtube but no one shows or tells what they are doing. Just an idea.Thank you,
