Ah, this explains why he is racking so square in the other video: you've built in him the muscle to carry himself well. I hadn't connected the two videos as being the same horse.
I used to do the same with my gaited pony, but you have way too big a collar on him. The point of draft is right on the point of his shoulder, which really hurts. You are also letting him jump into the collar, which can cause a sweeney, permanent nerve damage to the shoulder and a resultantant death of the muscle. Get a copy of the Draft Horse Journal. It will show you how to properly fit a collar and hames.
You done ok, but Earl said he's going to talk to ya. I think the horse done his best, but he could of done better if his owner knew more about putting him to work. LOL Earl said Sam tought all his horses to work
Now THAT is a proper horse!
Nice horse.

This video is a hoot Hatchet. Earl said he was going to talk to you on working a horse.
Yes, I need lots of help on working him and our video isn't the best, but not bad for an old standardbred.
Earl said you coller is too big, and like draftman420 said. I figured it would be for ever before we see ya.
LOL you know Earl has worked many of a horse.....
