My father-in-law helped me (translation OVER KILL ) but thats the way it goes. Mine starts out at the wagon end 6" wide. Then just past the evener it starts to narrow to about 2" at the frant end. Making the conection to the wagon axle will probobly be the hardest part. He built mine stout...

I will as soon as I get a breal in the weather. It's put up in an old shed out back for now, and I'll have to move a few things to get a decent picture. There's nothing to it really. The hardest thing is making the pole end match the conect to the wagon axle and everybody makes theirs diferant

I went to a local sawmill and got some oak 2x6's and made mine myself, with a lil bit of hardware from the hardware store. Mabe the friend that made the wagon can help you.

you might try my draft horse super store. I don't know what length your looking for. I think they have one that's 11ft.

At the very least I would send a very nice, polite letter and a self addressed and stamped envelope and ask them for the papers. The only resone that I can think of that anyone would not pass the papers on with the sale is they are planning to do some thing shady or to lazy to find them. you...

these stalls will be for minis only. they will spend very little time a day in there. space is very limited as the old barn is only 22'x9' . when my grandfather raised minis he had small stalls that worked very well for anything.I'm thinking that 3 stalls that are 4'x5' that will give me room...

I have decided to move and redo an old barn to make it more user friendly. I have never had stalls that were made just for minis and was wondering what was every ones thoughts on the perfect size. My guys are between 33" an 36". Thanks in advance for every ones opinion.

thanks for all the good ideas and info. I think the first thing I need to do is find a helper as I always work my boys alone.The 3 main things I am worried about are the sirens and horns from police and fire depts, the fire crackers and such, and the marching bands. Other than that I think the...

How do ya,ll get your horses used to all the differant and very loud parade noises. I live way back off the road and its VERY quiet so mother nature and ordanary hyway sounds arn't going to work.

I was taught to leave the halter on under the bridle. but I agree that its pesonal prefrance and what ever works best for you in your situation.

Don't sell yourself short on your ablity to build one yourself. I'm not very handy myself and I made one from scratch that suits my needs prity well. It"s not show quaity by a long shot but I like it for what I do around here. I say give it a shot you may be surprised.

Fantastic job!!! Thats the kind of think I dream about.

Paintponylvr makes some very good points. I've been working a pair of mini donkeys for a few years now, and am planing to do the same fire wood logging you are talking about. don't get in a hurry. Ground drive them single first, then ad weight ( still single ) then put them together. I know...
