(Video #1 of 2) Hip-hop. . . .Back to the Drawing Board



Watch closely. One of the neck pieces drops out of the yoke surprising the ox. After the camera stopped his head went down and the yoke and the red strap ended up in a tangle around his head. Oh boy, was I glad he wasn't a horse! He stopped and waited for me to sort things out. I had made the neck shafts removable so I can widen them out as he grows. I see I'll need to pin them in place in the meantime. The next video will show a calm Scout as I get him harnessed up again.

(Video #2 of 2) Re-Hitching the Oxcart



After the yoke falls apart and the whole mess gets tangled around the ox's head, he stands calmly while I get him reharnessed. He's such a good sport!
