- Join Joe Mischka at this 39th annual draft animal powered field day.
Members of the association come together to work the fields with their draft horses and educate the public.
We first see great footage of these teams working the fields:
8 Shires on a 3-Bottom Gang Plow
5 Percherons on a 2-Bottom Gang Plow
3 Shires on a Sulky Plow
2 Mules on a Sulky plow
2 Belgians on a Corn Binder
2 Percherons on a Potato Digger
2-year-old Brown Swiss Working Steers
Joe hears about the annual foal raffle in which the organization buys a draft horse foal which goes to the winner.
Lastly, we get a thorough instruction on preparing a horse to work the fields.He demonstrates on one of his Percheron team names Major. He first demonstrates grooming the horse before harnessing to make sure there is nothing that would cause rubbing or sores to develop.
Next he shows us his horse collar with pad, how it fits and how to put it on the horse. Mel then harnesses the horse by applying the britchen, backpad and harness.
Here is the process:
Collar
Harness: hames set and tightened, breast and pole straps, crouper, quarter strap
Bridle and Bit: bit first, hook chin strap and chain, throat latch, over check under driving lines (to keep horses from eating hay or grass).
This is a great tutorial on harnessing your workhorse!

There’s no horse like a draft horse.
Can you do one with harvesting cotton using horse power?
Nice to see the Shires. Would also be nice to see some Clydesdales on this channel, it's extremely rare. Seems to be some sort of prejudice against them today. Probably the hitch-horse breeders are to blame, but they are ruining all the most popular breeds, today, not just breeding tall skinny Clydesdales on stilts. Tall skinny everything. There seems to be less of a prejudice against Shires, which is very odd when you consider the stud that had by far (according to experts on the modern Shire) the most influence on today's version of the breed was a pure registered Clydesdale - Hillmoor Enterprise, his pedigree can be found online and it is 100% Clydesdale. The Shire of today being basically a "type" of Clydesdale. There are still plenty of good drafty old-school full Clydesdales out there now with great bone and mass and not too much leg, many more than there are Shires, very few of which on this continent have the bone and mass that used to characterize this breed.
