What is

[Tab]

We were fortunate to win at that Nationals this year with this new team.

We have been driving and showing draft hitches for 20 years.

There is alot of difference between a "Farm" draft and a "Show" draft.

Farm drafts have a low head set and "plod" along.

Miniature show drafts should mimmick the large drafts.

Everyone has seen the Clydesdales - think of them.

There should be lift in the front feet and push from the rear.

Miniature drafts are NOT - short, heavy, big boned.

They ARE longer bodied, full chested and stylish.

A good show draft team or multiple hitch should work in unison and

that only comes with hours and hours in the seat correcting problems and

improving on the natural abilities you find in your team(s).

They are absolutely stunning, and what very good description. Minis don't have to be ultra refined to be quite beautiful and "horselike." I've been told that substance and heavier bone won't win in the show ring. Perhaps not in halter, but performance is the complete horse. Sound in mind and body!

I can see why you won. They are absolutely stunning!
