Mr. Julian, Thank You for showing how to set-up the lines on a three-abreast hitch. I learned the same set-up from my Grandfather who farmed with horses from the 1930' s thru the 1950's. He would add a jockey stick off the lower hame ring of the center horse to each of the outside horses halters when doing field work on implements without a tongue (discs, harrows, etc.) as forecarts were not used in those days. He often talked about riding the evener so he didn't have to walk. For heavy field tools like multi-share riding plows, road graders (w/up to 4 there's), combines, and such that used a tongue and neck yoke he would use a jockey stick on the outside horse (which was usually a younger horse) to provide additional direction for that horse. I always enjoy your videos as you actually show how someone can compete in today's agricultural system while farming with horses. Keep up the great work and I look forward to future videos !.!

Compliments you know how. Your horses trust you and you've taught them well before putting them next to each other. No hanging on the bits. Bravo bravo bravo🎉🎉🎉🎉

Beautiful. That is a proven hitch. Thanks for sharing.
Great setup I usually use a three-abrest set of lines they have one more set of cross check line and a beautiful team
Nice team
Now I understand what I am watching. Thx. No more "how do they do that".
