Draft Horse "Chore"

Cheif & Scout


The "Chore" list... get it all perfect for 100 points! 
Liming down the circle.


Tools to complete the circuit. 



As soon as the team and teamster enter  the ring the timer starts the clock. 
Begin! 

Hooked to the stoneboat now... pull! 

Teamwork. 

After unhooking from the stoneboat the teamster takes the team into the circle. 

Teamster hooks up the fifth wheel.

Teamster hooks up the wagon while assistant watches from outside the circle.
With many "gees, haws and whoas" the teamster and the horses keep the fifth wheel in the tiny circle. 
Communication! 

After completing a full circle the assistant boards the wagon and they are off! 
Staying within the lines.
Wheely aware :) 

Completing the figure 8







round... and 

round! 


Tickling the pylon during the figure 8 maneuver. 

More "gees, haws to guide the wheels of the fifth wheel wagon onto planks.
The horses have their ears tuned into the teamster's directions. 

Straight back! 

Check please. 

She says "I'll be the judge of that!"
