August 22, 2008, Newsletter Issue #290: The Hackney In Tandem

Tip of the Week

When Hackney horses are worked in tandem, the wheelers (horses closest to the wagon), should be slightly larger than the leaders. The leaders should be brighter and flashier with higher motion. The harnesses of the wheelers should be tighter than those of the leaders, showing that they are pulling the larger portion of the load. The leaders´ job is to present a bright flashy appearance.
