Well yeah, the reality of it is they did, and paved it all to boot. Car people may be bastards but that doesn't excuse horse abuse. Take the bus, hippy.

Ah, yes. I've a wool felt "Railroad Vest" from L.L.Bean, back before they became yuppie valhalla, that's very warm.
It's called the "Railroad Vest" because it has a watch pocket for the conductor's "Railroad Watch".
IIRC, wool felt is what the Mongolians use to build their Yurts (tents) that withstand the winter blasts from the artic. :wolf:

it seems to me that if they had devised some rigging that could put that big wheel in FRONT of the horses, they might have had an easier time of it. :2cents:


oh, yeah, F the amish.

Is that what brought you and jinx together? Your mutual dislike for the amish? Did you meet at an Anti-Amishite gathering? ;)

Is that not another example of someone trying to put the horse before the cart? :morncoff:

My Granddad always told me "don't get the cart ahead of the horse".

Speaking of wool, I love the military wool blankets(as long as you have something else between it and yourself).
WOOLY BULLY.....WOOLY BULLY..... :band:

:lol2:

It's a _lot_ easier to pull a roller like that than to push it. I've never heard of a horse pushing anything since the horse collar was invented.

Technically, they're pushing the horse collar which pulls the load. But you're right, pushing a load is very difficult and impossible to steer. :)
