We were fortunate to win at that Nationals this year with this new team.
We have been driving and showing draft hitches for 20 years.
There is alot of difference between a "Farm" draft and a "Show" draft.
Farm drafts have a low head set and "plod" along.
Miniature show drafts should mimmick the large drafts.
Everyone has seen the Clydesdales - think of them.
There should be lift in the front feet and push from the rear.
Miniature drafts are NOT - short, heavy, big boned.
They ARE longer bodied, full chested and stylish.
A good show draft team or multiple hitch should work in unison and
that only comes with hours and hours in the seat correcting problems and
improving on the natural abilities you find in your team(s).
