[drivingpairs] Re: calendar and collar pads

These sound like Mischka Farm calendars, and if they are, they are indeed
beautiful. I've been getting the driving horse one for several years now,
wouldn't miss 'em! I love having these clear photos to examine, so I can see
what type of equipment everyone is using, and how a really good turnout
should look. Very educational.

Hi all,

I used to post as koenenb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but changed email addys so while
draftmolly@xxxxxxxx is new, I'm not a new member.

I just received a mule calendar that is just so wonderful I wanted to
share. I was so surprised when I opened it to January and saw a picture
of my friend Irene riding her mule Jessie. I was even more surprised to
see LOTS of multiples in the driving pics.  February to May all have
pairs (or teams depending on the discipline)doing everything from
pleasure to CDE's and Pulling contests.  August is a georgeous photo of nine
mules, three abreast plowing.  September is a 16 mule hitch with a
smaller photo of a four abreast down below.  The pics are georgeous, the
mules are beautiful.

I have no affiliation to the company but I highly recommend this
calendar if you want a driving calendar with multiple hitches, or a mule
calendar. They also advertise horse calendars for riding and driving but I
haven't seen any of them in person.
I don't know if I can post their website addy here so if anyone is
interested, email me privately and I'll forward it on.

I recently bought a good, second hand team harness.  It was used in pulling
contests and is pared down to nothing extra while all stress points are
heavily reinforced.  It should be perfect for logging and farming.  It just
arrived and it sure makes me want to get out there and practice... now if
the temperature would only get off the -40C mark!!  (That's -40F for those
of you in the USA and I'm NOT fibbing!!!)  Not doing any driving at all
until THAT changes.

Question re: pads.... I searched the archives and couldn't find any info on
pads.  I have a 22" collar that will fit my molly but I'll have to pad it.
Can anyone suggest the best type of pads... wool, fleece, cotton???  I've
seen many varieties in use but don't know what's best and don't want to burn
her.

Cindy
