[drivingpairs] Re: hitching fours

Dave,
        I copied the information from Trish and passed it on to them.
They had been hitching/unhitching that way for some time so no changes
were called for.  Your suggestions are good and we will use them when we
begin driving my stagecoach in the middle of the month.  They wanted me
to relay their thanks to you all.  The stage will stop over in Arkansas
City tonight and they will be in Caldwell, KS on Monday to meet the
children at the Caldwell school on Tuesday.  Next week will be spent
travelling to Medicine Lodge, KS in time for some big event there next
weekend.  They are a local Missouri group that does this on a yearly
basis and runs it on a low budget.

If I have an excess number of helpers when I am hitching or unhitching
four, 
I generally choose someone who does not have any particular skills to
offer 
to the process and have that person hold the four lines, from the
ground. 
The instruction:  stop the horses if they run off.  Of course, my horses

hitched easily and safely, and were easily hitched with two people.
Having 
that person on the lines possibly could save our bacon some day, but 
meanwhile they feel useful (and could be) and otherwise stay out of the
way.
