I've been reading a bit about the troika hitch;But have a little trouble
trying to sort out where fact & legend might blend....three horses pulling,
with the outer most horses turned outward to 'look out for wolves.' Now, is
it at all likely , that three horses pulling humans were really likely to be
attacked by wolves? Or is that just kind of the , i don't know, the myth
about the developement of that particular hitch? I think the information I
have found on the style is all from the 19th Century, but don't have any
real idea of when that particular style/method of hitch might have been
employed/how it evolved. (not that I want to try it- just interested in
origin.... )
Any CAA members out there? I noticed in an New England Equine Journal
recently that there is a New England Chapter of the CAA- any members here on
the list?
Happy driving all, Nancy in NH
