@pashtonzoy Good to see pack animal techniques for carrying medical emergencies from so long ago, and to compare them to @SaddleAid 's innovations in that field today👍

Gain an understanding of the principles of balanced draft in harnessing animals for work, very important for animal welfare and work efficiency.

As well as providing #transportation for #people & materials, working #animals across the world have a vital role in providing food, both directly by transporting goods to & from the market, & indirectly by earning money to buy #food.

[Brooke 🐴🧡 @TheBrooke]

Most working #equids are operated with some form of #harnessing - ranging from simple means of pack attachment, to complex systems of hitching multiple animals to carts...

[Brooke 🐴🧡 @TheBrooke]

Harness-related #welfare problems are amongst the most prevalent afflictions for working #equids, and include skin lesions and associated risk of infection, pain and discomfort during work, and additional energy expenditure due to working inefficiently.
