Farming
With Horses
Steve
Bowers and Marlen Steward
In
the early twentieth century, the proliferation of farm tractors
dramatically eased the burden on America’s farmers. It seemed
the day of the horse-drawn plough was over. And yet today, with
a new generation working smaller spreads for reasons of necessity,
economics, or personal conviction, draft horses are going back
to work in a big way, and proving their worth once more.

This book, by
a widely respected trainer of working horses, aims to show those new
to farming with horses—or those simply in need of a brush-up—everything
they need to make the old ways work like new. With a wealth of color
illustrations and clear, to-the-point prose,
Farming with
Horses reviews the different types of harness and collar, explains
how to select a work horse and how to hitch a horse to an implement,
and fully describes lateral and longitudinal alignment, rein grips,
and every other aspect of farming with horses.
