Log Pull-Single & Pairs
This message is from: "Ursula & Brian Jensen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear List from Brian Jensen; Taffy---try Lynne Millers Training Workhorses--Training Teamsters. Pages 323-324-325 should answer all your questions. Pictures of hitching--pulling--serpentines, and a written narrative to support the procedure. Information for single and pairs ground work. Ursula and I have been to many shows around N.A. and usually there are small differences in the classes reflecting the area or the understandings of the local teamsters. Several years ago we travelled a small local circuit with other teamsters competing. Logs were usually in the 12 foot length area give or take wherever they happened to be cut.A single log was used for a single, and two logs for a team. However the important factor was the ratio used. What ever the length of the log became the distance between the cones as well as the distance from the cones to the outside barrier lines. We usually practice a little tighter than that just to get ready for a class. In areas where the competition was especially good organizers added a one foot---two footthree foot pull after the serpentine was completed. Every inch off the stated length became a penalty to the teamster and was factored into the overall time. I highly recommend the Miller book. It can be acquired through Small Farmers Journal---Box 1627---Sisters--Oregon 97759.

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To me the log pull is one of the most exciting events at Libby. I remember one year at Libby being absolutely mezmerized with watching Brian Jensen and Sambar working through the cones. Such a rare level of communication and finesse of team work between man and horse was a fine and wonderous thing to see. Misha

This message is from: Pat Wolfe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello Laura, It sounds like Mr. Mcwethy is pretty sure of himself. I just came up with a terrific idea. We should pair Felix and Hostar the two studs together and show David and his two VERY OLD mares how the log pull should be done. Pat.
