Basil and Blackie, Sally and Dolly, June and Barney, and our stallion, Ironwood Jake. These were the main teams, and the big guy, on my childhood farm. We kids learned to drive them on the stoneboat, which was the least dangerous. Even when we had the tractors, my Dad hitched them up regularly.
My team was Nip & Tuck. Tuck loved to get hitched and work. Nip was lazy. Learned to step back and let the traces go slack, make Tuck do the work. Had to watch him.
