For something a little different, take a look at this video. I don’t know when it was shot, but it appears to have been a TV preview for a three-month journey by wool wagon into Australia’s Outback.

I seem to have missed a day here yesterday. Simply forgot all about it, I’m sorry to say.
Today, let’s head out to South Dakota to watch a couple of original Stagecoaches (restored by Hansen Wheel & Wagon Shop), being driven on the Ft. Pierre-to-Deadwood Trail. One especially interesting segment, I think, is seeing one of them being driven (slowly, slowly) down a steep grade. This looks like it was quite a large gathering, and I only wish the video was longer!

A CAA member sent us this old photo from the Rochester (New York) Horse Show. Unfortunately, we don’t know the date … but it’s an impressive set of horse teams nonetheless.

I’ve posted this silent 1904 video before, but I thought I would do so again, as it’s the perfect final entry in our several days of looking at horse-drawn haying techniques and practices. This one was filmed in England.
Enjoy!
