How old do they have to be before they can be trained to pull?

That’s a big stack of Blaschak bags in the lean-to. Not sure which way it faces but make sure you keep the sun off the bags.

Nice looking animals, we used to have a local logger that used horses.
It was amazing the work that he got done with a team. He was quite the horseman.
He would work a team through the winter and right up to the late summer then he'd
start going to all the shows with draft animal competitions, he would just wipe out his
competitors that hadn't been working their teams, then he's sell that team for a very good price
pick up another and start working them and repeat the cycle.
His logging was the nicest also the woods weren't all tore-up and destroyed, didn't have half
the standing trees all barked up and scarred.
Unfortunately cancer got him a few years ago.

Entered a horse for GADC in dressage regionals at Conyers GA St Prix St George, 2 blues on two days with different Olympic judges. We wanted to see if we could beat those Southerners. Sweet Magnolias were good but we were better
