The chains to the axle is interesting. I have not seen them previously.

So glad you are now in our area. hope you have many years here.

I am so glad to see you demonstrating this! As you pointed out the vast majority of foreign hand drivers does not have any idea how to fur and unfurl the foreign hand lash. They keep it wound around the stick and it is completely useless. I know that it is not too difficult to learn how to do this, because I have learned myself, and I am not a foreign hand driverjust takes a little bit of practice

Good video. When I started driving I made a rein board. Good for practice

A bit more fussy than I care for just driving a pair, but I use a similar technique driving a 4 in hand, using my left to hold the reins and the right as support and to reach forward to grab a leader line as needed, no whip as I drive workhorses. 4 Percherons can put a strain on the forearm if they are feeling good and fresh and the lines themselves weigh 20 pounds. Farming and logging calls for compromises I guess, get it done while you stagger along in the snow/ice/mud.

How do you measure the reins prior to mounting?

Hi

Absolutely brilliant, thank you!

now that made sense. thank you. I think I can try this now. I am going to make a rein board to use while sitting in my cart.
