simple sledge, or stone boat build for draft horses!

Simple instructions to make your own sledge (sled) for your horses at home, with 4 common mistakes to AVOID! This is a piece of equipment we use on the farm all the time.... from moving heavy things to doing obstacle courses. A great tool for beginners and experienced horsemen alike.

I am going to build this stone boat, it’s a brilliant design and really works well!

Great thanks 😁

New sub! I found you through the horse loggers round table forum on facebook. I’m a member there not because I log with horses, but I’m working on a documentary of my family’s sawmill and wanted to learn about logging with horses as my great grandfather did.. so I’m watching your video with more of the artistic/editing eye.. Well done! Your horses are beautiful 💕

Thanks! And welcome!

Is there any reason I couldn't build something to lean against/stabilize myself on with something like this? I don't have good ankles (aka I fall over easy) and I want to add one of these to my training for my horses. I don't think falling off would be very good for training though 😅😂 You look so stable on that but I know I wouldn't be.

We build another version with a bench seat that can be bolted on or off. No reason why you couldn't put a hand rail on it. I would put it on the side rather than the front though so you don't stand too far forward. You definitely don't want to put a foot in front of it while it's on the move
