This was very interesting. I had riding horses so don't know much about driving horses. Great job explaining.

Hi Jim and Brenda, Again another informative video. Most harnesses are the same in concept but are used for different activities. I volunteered for a racing stables a little while back and i learned how to hitch up a racing harness to the horses which there were 10 of them at the time, i had them all ready to be put on the Sulky ready for training first thing so when the horse was out in training i would hitch the next one up and cleaned out the stalls so the stall was ready for the horse after they got back from training then i would take the harness off wash them down ,put a cooler on the horse and put him back in his stall so by lunch time the horses for the most part clean and dry so they could be turned out for an hour or two then they were brought back in put in their stalls and then fed their hay and food for the night. I really enjoyed volunteering at the racing stables and while i was there i learned how to line drive and then actually drive them too. It was a lot of fun for sure. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the horses harness. It was nice to find out different ways you harness horses. Race horses are very hyper and they don't have such big harnesses as you have on your horses. So they aren't as heavy. Thanks again Jim and Brenda. Have a safe and great day.

Loved this installment of “Horse Basics”. I don’t have much experience with driving horses- mostly riding. Each time since I have been watching when you mentioned the “tug” I would say to myself, “Dad always called that the “trace”. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Brenda and Jim! First, I just wanted to say I never want your videos to end cause I love your horses and love watching them!🥰 I enjoyed today because I've never known the names of all the harness parts and their use. I couldn't keep from getting tickled at Buck. Several times when you were at his "back side", Buck would turn around and look at you as if he was saying, "Come on and let's get to work or let me go back to bed"! Then Buck decided he'd had enough and headed back to his stall! When Jim told him to get his butt back over there it reminded me of Wilbur and Mr. Ed talking to each other!🤣😆😂 I can't imagine any of your horses ever being aggressive. They always seem so calm to me. I was wondering if occasionally you use saddle soap or a leather conditioner to keep all the leather straps soft and conditioned so they don't crack with age? Hope you have a good weekend!!

Hi Carol, thanks

That is a Liverpool bit, it origins from England and it's actually named after the city of Liverpool. Those lever bits (some also call them shank bits) with curbchains tend to be very severe, horses generally do not pull as good as they could or run as good as they could, because they're afraid of it (the bit) being used on them if they generate a lot of energy (pulling or running, i hope you understand me, if they are going they get stopped every time and they hate it because of the bits, if they're going faster than they should be or generate more energy usually more presure is used on the bits and they hate stopping even more because of the bits therefor they won't even go sometimes).They can be used without the curbchain (it can be taken off) then it's another story. Some people think and say that it's the bit that controls a horse, but only real horsemen and horse trainers know that it's the horses level of training and the skill of a horseman, coachman or rider that really control the horse. I use exaclty the same types of harnesses here in Southern Europe, D-ring harnesses, they're the common ones and i like them very much because of their simplicity and versatility they work really great with a team (or pair) of horses) as well as with a single horse. Here we have 2 basic types of D ring harnesses : a light harness and a heavy harness, the differnce is in the front part the rest is exactly the same type. Light harness being a harness with a breastplate instead of a collar, it works great for general driving around, pulling carts or wagons, and for every type of light work (farming, in the woods etc.), huge advantage of a breastplate harness is the ability to adjust it far far more then the collar (the same breastplate harness will most definatelly fit "the right way" on far more horses than a collar ever will) and the heavy harness being the harness with the collar which is so much better for the horse when doing any type of work whatsoever, which is exactly the same type as those that you have. Always fun to watch your videos !

@payntpot7623

Жыл бұрын

Yes, traditionally, armies used breast collars not neck collars because of the ease of cutting one horse out and putting another in its place in a team. However, they are pulling wheeled vehicles and the angle of draft is different to pulling a plough, harrow, logs (with a swingle tree) etc. Neck collars are better suited to such low draft work, then breast collars are.

@nenaddjuric6518

Жыл бұрын

@@payntpot7623 Neck collars are infinitely better for everything. Only advantage of a breast collar harness is its ability to fit "the right way" on more different sized horses. Angle of draft is not a problem because it is easily adjusted and angle of draft is not the point, the point is the surface of contact between the harness and the horse.

Hey Jim and Brenda, thanks so much for that video and that picture with all the terms. That was a good occasion for me to learn all that parts how they're called in English. I am also keeping an eye out on an American type of harness as the harness I use is way different and surely more suiteable for pure driving than for hard pulling. It reaches its limits when it comes to heavier logging. Don't really know how it's called in English. For the bit that you showed in the end that's for sure a liverpool bit. For my gelding I'm using a similar one. I also tend to use another one with him in the future but actually for me it works fine. It might really depend on the general way of driving as you said and I think for sure also on the horse. I would never drive my poney with that kind of bit. I am very curious about the exact way you're driving as I have observed several times that you do it a quite different way than I do. Could talk to you about that stuff for hours, really like that!

Hi Jim & Brenda, I was given a book by a friends dad a few years ago about the harness and how in different parts of the UK they call it. If I can find it I could possibly send it too you.

You may explain this in the future but I’ve always wondered how the bits and reins work, i.e. a bit has two reins coming from it yet, working a team, you only hold TWO lines in your hands, not FOUR. Does each horse respond to only one line or??? For a person (me) who has only been a rider, this is a good video for explaining the mystery of harnesses. Thank you.

good morning Jim and Brenda, as usual I'm confused. Can you explain in next video collars and sweat pads please. What I'm confused about is how do you put a 2"-3" larger sweat pad into a smaller diameter collar? I guess what WE need to know is "How do you measure a collar correctly (not size it to a horse), for example the collar measures 26", how do you get that measurement"? Then you put a 28"-29" (2"-3" bigger) sweat pad in a smaller diameter area, ie the inside of a collar?" It would seem that the sweat pad would be bunching up on itself, just like you if had on a pair of pants that was 2"-3" too big in the waist and you pulled them tight with a belt to keep from falling down. But yet your sweat pads don't even look as though they come together at bottom of collar? Hope that makes sense. Thx Dave

I collect photos from the 1800s/early 1900s of draft horses working on farms and logging camps. You can sometimes date the photo by whether the tugs are all leather or part chain and part leather. I would assume the chain tugs would have been dangerous around the horses rear legs and were eventually replaced by all leather. Do you think that's true or would there be another reason for not using chain?

@WorkingHorsesWithJim

I think chains would be heavier than leather to put on, also people wanted their horses to look good, so most people prefer the look the leather. And yes, the chains would be more abrasive against their body.

Hello!

It is a Liverpool bit. It is not a Buxton. they are quite different. A Buxton is generally a coaching bit. You Do Not have to use the curb chain. It Was Not designed for logging etc. It is more of a driving in a cart style of bit. I have an old nickel square one from the an old brewery set of harness. Your lazy straps are known as "trace holders" in most driving circles. The tugs are actually the loops which hold the shafts. Since you have no shafts when using a pair, I suppose it makes no difference that you call the traces, tugs; but it is confusing at times, so thanks for using both terms in this video. I for one, appreciate it.
