Snow packer

[Jean]

I have a new Canadian Chunk that I am driving with my forecart. He is fantastic!

My husband could care less about the horses and is a bit jealous of the time I spend with them. Yesterday he was out trying to pack down a cross country ski trail with his snow shoes. I told him that there should be a way that I can do that with my horse.

Does anybody know where I might find a snow roller that I could use with my forecart and a single horse? There must be something around that I could use. Or even plans that I could use to get one made?

This just may be the way I can get him out to the barn!

Thanks,
Jean

You might try a lawn roller made for a lawn tractor if the snow isn’t too deep.

How about a wrapped round bale skidded on its bottom. Or better might be rolled by putting a pipe or crow bar throught the center and connecting the ends with straps or chains, The bale would be the roller. I just built a rig based on anouther post that would work good for this application.
