Now that's a "green vehicle" if I've ever seen one! Wonder if Al Gore has one?

Plenty of Horsepower, I Love it!

Now, if it comes with a shower attachment to clean the horses and the harness, I'd be really impressed

All, I can say is someone has a lot of time on their hands to think up something like this.

This is a very elaborate equisizor able to be used with many horses at once. Since they wouldn't need people to exercise the horses any more, I wonder if they have people to take care of them after they get off this thing.

This just goes to show you how calm standardbreds are, if they can put up with this they can put up with anything!

PS I am looking at the picture on the website, I'm not real sure about the horse/car vehicle being any better than my towgate.

Oh boy. Personally, I think that takes the fun out of the whole harness horse racing concept! Even if it is just for training...C'mon, what about the wind in your hair? The feel of the cart going down the track? Hands on the reins?

I guess you don't have that with the towgate either, huh? But it still seems more "normal" lol!

Angie,

I agree they've gone a bit too far with this, but as for the tow gate, it beats having to jog or train on extreme weather days. It is no fun having to go jog and train when the wind chills are in the teens or below ( I try to avoid those days unless I have to deal with them because of a race schedule). The horses love the cold weather, me I hate it. Ditto for really hot weather. Love that air conditioner. Maybe I need to move to some climate where it stays between 55 and 65 degrees all the time.

Rachelle, let me know if you find a place where the temps are between 55 and 70, AND if you can afford to buy there, can grow hay and afford to feed your horses, and there's a store within an hour's drive. I'll be there with you!
