Nice little team and sleigh! I just started breaking sleigh trails today up here in Ontario Canada, about 6 inches of snow on the ground now. Hope you enjoy many more sleigh rides this winter.
Nice Haflingers and obviously willing to do what's expected of them, even when they haven't been hitched for a long time. Shows their good disposition.
@@StoneHillFarmCT As to your driving, have you ever heard of the Achenbach technique? It has served me well for a long time(I have owned and worked with horses for more than 61 years) and it still is useful. There is a book available with the title "The Art of Driving" written by Max Pape, who was a disciple of Benno von Achenbach. I had Haflingers and some European breeds in Germany and for the past 33years here in the US Belgians and Percherons as well as Haflingers. They all responded well to this safer and also gentler way of holding the lines.
👏🏻 yeahhhhhhh
