This is super cool. The wife and I are buying a sustinance farm right now, and I want to learn to plow with horses. Our Amish neighbors do, so I'm hoping to make friends and have them teach me if they'd be so kind.

In "1964" when I was nine or so, I took some kite string and tied it to the forelock of my great uncle's plow horse that weighed in at right around two thousand pounds like the beautiful horse in this video and he'd allow me to lead him all around the field. When he stopped in his tracks and raised his left front leg, that was my signal to climb up and get a great view of the farm from his broad back. He'd graze and flick his ears back and forth and we'd spend the afternoon together. Sometimes I'd bring a library book and sit up there and read. My cousins were so jealous. :D I was the only kid out of the whole crowd of cousins that he'd allow to "ride" him. :D It wasn't like he'd go where I directed him. I was just along for the ride. :) Excellent team. Works well together.

My dad farmed 100 acre farm with just 4 horses until I was 14 in 1959. (then he bought an 8N Ford) He plowed with an IH 1-16 plow using 3 horses.( it had a seat and steel wheels ) As a kid I loved to walk behind in the furrow. When plowing with horses you can hear the soil turning over Good memories !

Brings back memories, my grandpa had two work horses named King and Queen. We had tractors but they would be used to “tickle scratch” the top of the soil so it would dry out and tractors could work the ground up for planting. My grandpa let me take the horses to the barn when I was small, the horses walked so fast it felt like my feet weren’t touching the ground.

My old man started ploughing with horses as a lad in the UK. He was also the sprayer guy on his last job ending his career in one of those space pod self contained sprayer things. His work buddy and next door neighbour once used a rotavator to cultivate their conjoined gardens and took down a stone wall to get a tractor in to do the work. Then them and their boss were told to put the wall back up EXACTLY how it was before because the wall was a listed structure. The wall wasn’t 1000years old but the farm was in the Doomsday Book- I even found it in a copy at college when I moved to the US. A certain acreage had to have a certain number of ploughs and ploughmen. And then the Normans (or Breton allies) could tax the farm.
