Wonderful job by the driver in keeping the situation calm, and getting things back under control. Things can easily get out of hand with one horse, let alone 8! Great job.

If it had been a 6 up he would have made it on the first swing. If it had been me I would have ha to move the lead back a couple. That man showed a lot of skill, doesn't men I' am gonna loan him my truck ! If you had to, you did good .

The mere actions of hitching and of unhitching are an art unto themselves. Done wrong, someone gets trampled. The key in this sort of driving is to get the leaders going where you want them and the other pairs not turning to follow, but instead holding straight (or even heading toward the opposite direction) until they are far enough along that you won't "cut corners." The dropped line didn't help!

Can you not tell he's in a wagon himself, and his horses are trying to move? He already said his team was trying to catch up to the other wagons ahead of him. YOU try holding a camera pointing backwards in an emotional situation, all while trying to steady a team of horses that wants to move forward... good luck with that! On top of that, there's no springs on those wagons - they're jarring even when you're moving along at a calm walk.
