We watched a young Amish fellow at a competition few years back where they had to pull a large diam ten foot log through a slalom on a side hill. The hitch had a swivel so the log tended to roll down hill into the cones. This Amish kid came up and he drove his team at a slow gallop, he was long legged and had to jump over the log at every turn. He went so fast that the log could roll only slightly, and went down and back in about 45 seconds.He beat second place by about 15 minutes.

My late dad would've liked seeing those horses at work. He was also a very good rider. Hal
PS: He graduated from college in 1912. His picture is in the bottom row R.B. Durham

Great pics and lovely team of matched horses. I would love to watch farm work done with horses.
