You can buy a hook for your pole from Whitmer's.  And then, you can go on and 
move to a four in hand when the mood hits you.  :)  This won't work off a drop 
pole, please note.  And for most modern poles, there is a higher angle setting 
for a four in hand to off set the weight of the lead bars and to make sure the 
pole end is high enough off the ground.

no, you don't want the leader connected to the wheelers this way. Any pull 
would be off the wheelers and wouldn't help with pulling the carriage. ( a real 
scarey thing is to have a leader pull a wheeler down.) You can put (strongly 
weld) a ring on the end of the pole and hang the bar off the ring. But your 
leader needs to be able to pull every now and again unlike the tandem leader 
who really doesn't do more than tighten the traces. Marged

Thanks, but what if your pole is set up for pairs
instead of 4s. Is there a away of connecting the
leader to the breastcollars of the pair?

Run tendem leader reins through roger rings attached
on the inside of the wheelers bridles. Its the best
and most fun hitch ever.
