I would suggest that you go to the county courthouse mabe even the judge executive and start asking questions and explaining what you have in mind and exactly how big ( or small ) a mini is. Then you and them will be on the same page.
With out a neck yoke I think your brichen will be useless.I don’t know your driving style, I’m basicly a traditionalist so I try Togo with the way they did it 150yrs ago.
It’s to tell from that picture what I’m looking at and I’m not real sure what your asking but I’ll take a shot at it. I’m guessing that’s the front end of a team pole and that spur looking piece is the stop for the neck yoke.I hope that answers your question
Ok team drivers, between the horses with the lines running through it there is a piece that my grandad always called a line weight. Is that what it’s really called, and where can I get one sized for minis and made to order. Thanks in advance.
I agree that the single tree looks way to thick. Mabe you can contact the manufacture and get some info on what kind of connection to the traces it’s designed for
I am still laid up from led surgery back in November. but hopefully i'll be back on both feet in 6 weeks or so. I didn't get to far last befor I started having problems with an old leg wound so mabe I'll have better luck this year.
As far as the definition of each driving style, I can't help you and am wondering the same thing myself. As for doing 2 or more different styles it is very possible. It would be like ridding western and English with the same quarter horse.
