Driving Draft Horses

Brandt Ainsworth has been driving horses since he was seven years old. Since that time, he has done it all, from skidding logs and farming to driving in shows, pulls and parades. His success with horses is evident in his expert handling of the lines.
Brandt shares his tips and techniques for successful driving in this video. He shows how to attach driving lines, correct ways to handle lines for both comfort and safety, how to drive with one hand or both, the use of voice commands in conjunction with the lines, driving a team or a single, ground driving, and how to properly handle lines while starting a load and backing a team.
Driving with good hands can mean the difference between safe driving and having a runaway. Correct handling of the driving lines also results in increased productivity for both you and your working team. In this video Brandt Ainsworth shows you how. 1 hour 12 minutes. DVD available from Rural Heritage.

Congratulations Brenda, l remember you as a young lad on the Renolds Rd. Years ago I was Dottie Everett friend. We both worked for Home Care. I was always amazed at how patient you were with your Horses and Oxen. My Son and l didn’t know you moved so far away, cause he was talking about his woods and you. My husband worked for Yansick, maybe you knew him, Lee Bull. Any way I was excited for your adventure with your horses and oxen.Thank you for sharing all you do, l lmagine this is a lost art and we in your area are very proud of you and your endeavor. Good luck in all you do .🎶🇺🇸🌺🙏🌹🌈🥀🎶🇺🇸🌺🙏🌹🌈😘🥀
