Tom, I live in Texas, just south of Austin. Most states have draft horse organizations. Most owners would be happy to let ya come watch and maybe handle their drafts. Our TDHMA (Texas Draft Horse and Mule Association) has "harvest" days or "farm" days which usually involve mowing, plowing, discing, harrowing, etc. Many times the horse owners will let you handle the team. Last spring my wife and I went to a "play day". We took a mare/gelding team. Our first class was a halter mare class. My wife doesn't/can't run (to trot the horse), so we recruited a high school girl who was there to observe. We found she had riding horse experience and we recruited her to show the wife's mare at a trot. Of course, I'm darn confident of the behavior of my drafts and so have lots of willingness to share 'em. The freshmnan girl ended up driving my team in several events. It was probably a once in a lifetime experience for her, and I think she enjoyed it. I told her that if she ever felt threatened in school or in life to remember that she was plenty strong to handle about 4,000 pounds of horses and she could probably handle most gals or guys. : ) kelly

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
