Learning To Pull A Wagon - Not All Horses Can Do This!

[@ErnieB]

It was heartwarming to see how well April took to pulling the wagon. She's a fine horse. Not to overlook your skill as a trainer. Your mindset of building confidence at every step really pays off. Thanks for posting. signed, Ernie

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Haha, thank you for the tip.

As soon as you got that red wagon, God had a plan. He said, .... that man needs a Clydesdale!! 🤣❤

[@murraydyck2127]

What a great horse. She just wants to please you. She trusts you and gives you her all . Good job .

[@benitadavis659]

just so you know I have binge watched nearly all your videos. I have a small farm and I really appreciate how you discuss your costs and how to make farm self sustaining something I am constantly working on

[@edcowles6414]

You are so blessed to have a horse like her. She is a wonderful spirit. A very good horse.

[@arizonamom8773]

She is a Great horse and lovely lady!

[@jimmydemetriou7847]

Well done April. Thanks fpr taking the time to educate us in these videos. X

[@kimwilliford6303]

Beautiful job April. You are a very cool horse.

[@Desertdweller1965]

We start new ones with someone leading and someone on the lines. The best mule we went from first harness to driving in 6 hours. You’ve got a good, light hand.

[@tonyalewis9053]

Reminds me of my childhood. We use to ride a two-wheel buggy and a wagon similar to yours! The neighbors’ Welsh Pony loved to pull anything and was good for kids to learn around.

[@alethacriss9308]

Good job April with that wagon! Oh yeh and good job JR.😊

[@marycoker99]

April is such a beautiful horse and she did so good pulling the wagon. 😊 Whoever you sell April to will be so blessed.

Wow I had no idea of these things my family is from PA & there's tons of Amish with horses pulling wagons - I never knew all these things about that - they make it look easy - I would've never known that any horse can't just hook up & go - this is why I love your channel this is a great learning experience April is exceptional & beautiful too what a sweet girl she is

[@costrio]

Nice virtual buggy ride. Beautiful April is a gem, I think.

[@NatalieHudspeth-Storey]

Is there ANYTHING this gentleman cannot do? What a genius!

[@benitadavis659]

I love April if I didn't live in Ausralia I would try to buy her, she is such a super star... ahhhh if only

[@maureenstringer4362]

What a wonderful video, I would have loved a wagon like that when I was younger, I know the dogs love a good run but I’ll bet they’d like to be sitting up in that wagon with you 😂 .that was very educational, April is a lovely horse. ❤xx

Very nice JR i THINK SHE'S got it BEAUTIFUL

Love April ❤ I'M TOTALLY ON TEAM CART. GREAT WORK.

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Not as nice as your cart! Your cart is a dream💖

Exactly 😝

Good Job JR! -ACD

[@karenpetroski766]

April did great, what s pleasant horse ❤❤❤

[@mfc4591]

A coat of paint and some padding and the buggy will be nice. April already is nice, she needs some grain after that, but I am sure you did give her a treat. Maybe you need to find a Rudolf for the wagon at this time of year!

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

She definitely gets a treat….and grain lol

[@cassandragriswold7521]

Beautiful horse, smart too. ❤

[@EmbelekoBand]

Totally awesome 👍

[@sherrileeslade6557]

Perfect turn with her so proud

[@reeritz1280]

April is one of my favorites from your Homestead...very versatile & such a beauty (I remember her McD's drive thru adventure w/you). I can't imagine she will be up for sale for very long.

[@skyfallunoPretzel]

Beautiful mare.

[@kvhvtke1935]

You need a swingle tree or if you get much weight on that way again it's going to rub your horse in her shoulders check out what swingle tree is for

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

Thank you I didn’t think of that

[@catladynj]

Fantastic job😊❤

[@kitt2000car]

I hope you installed a single tree on that wagon. Thats a lot of weight to be pulling without one.

[@agranetmedia2667]

You should have a swingle tree on your wagon, for the ends of the tugs. A solid tug-hitch like yours is hard on the horse's shoulders, causing the breast band to rub on her shoulders as pulls, causing friction.

[@blkequus]

you are correct this type of hitch is usually used with a racing harness and a very, very light vehicle. The horse pulls from the saddle so there's no rubbing on the chest area. But don't use this set up without a single tree.

[@1105pitbull]

I just looked at the age of this video and I think you subsequently did sell April for the farm payment. Great video and nice job rigging up the little wagon. I'm assuming that Oliver will be too wide to fit the wagon as it is?

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

No I can use it

[@n.e.barton1299]

You need some lights and one of thode reflective triangles. Your fellow county residents have to get used toorganic horsepower.❤ Mighty April.

[@jlc928]

Just love all the videos, keep them coming!

[@thebanjooutlaw]

Very nice work!👍

[@sherrileeslade6557]

Every time I've trained any kind of horse or pony I've always driven them from the ground behind the car so they can hear me not so much so they can see me but to have somebody else in front of them

[@judyc9380]

Lil dog,s not gonna wow, got to get that bone home!

[@ellikramer4012]

So cool!

[@katwithponies6408]

Single tree will keep her or other horses comfortable! 😊

[@geddon436]

could you make a video of horse pulling wagon, with no voice over, just the sound of nature as you ride?

[@rohitgopal4346]

super video clarity. which pony breed is this?

[@homesteadhorsemanship]

This is a Missouri Foxtrotter. A horse breed developed in the Ozark mountains of central America

[@kittenlagoon4125]
