Dang, you just got to drag me back into this don't you!
I am not sure Soap. Maybe a Wholeflinger would be correct. But I have four so I guess I have 2 Wholeflingers! From what I can find out, Halflingers came from crossing Belgians with Arabs. Seem to be two types. One more thinner and more of a saddle type and the other thicker and more of the draft type. Mine are full brothewr4 and sister and full sister. the full sisters are a bit smaller and more refined with more sensitivity to them and don't seem to have quite as much get down and pull to them and the gelding and sister seem to be thicker headed and thicker hided but dang sure will get down and pull. I am in hopes of having a four up eventually and driving them four abreast also. I used the older set to rake hay this past summer and then pitched some on a low boy wagon and hauled it up and built a small stack in front of a hay feeder. Wasn't any more work than idiot cubes, but did take a bit longer I guess. But what's time to a horse?
Yes, I will be on JT Live on Monday about the upcoming event at Beslers Cadillac ranch on Saturday the 76th with Ken Cook, Marty Blocker and Paul Larsen. Beslers is between Spearfish and Belle Fourche. We tried to have this program on Saturday the 19th of November but got snowed out. We will do it this time no matter the snow as by now, people have remembered that even if it snows, they can still get there. ;-)
We are calling it, "When the Works All Done this Fall" and hope to make it an annual event. We are doing a show at 2 pm and another at 7 pm, so that the older folks andf the folks with little kids can come in the afternoon and the younger ones and ones who want to stay and dance afterwards can go to the later show. Hope it works as we are doing it pretty much on our own. No one comes, no one gets paid even mileage! And I'd hate to do that to Ken and Marty. Me and Paul are close enough it wouldn't be too big of a deal for us.
And Silver, as slow as I am at building them saddles, go ahead and order one. By the time I am done she will have agreed to it! ;-) LOL
Got one here for myself I been piddling around with for over a year! I really need to get it done as Chance wants my old one.
