Drafting is the working event that I get the most questions about.
Harnesses - Siwash style Nordkyn are my favorite. I like these the best, as they clip in to the shaft as opposed to having to go over the end. Makes harnessing and hitching go a lot faster that the other varieties of harnesses.
Carts - I have 3, one is a PVC one I built (directions were in the Q1 2004 Senn), the other 2 are from the Wilczek's; one is a 16"deluxe training wheels cart and the other is a custom cart. The PVC one was sized specifically for Titan is moderately heavy but perfectly balanced, the 16"deluxe training wheels cart is very light and is easy to take apart, it's my favorite for starting new dogs.
