"Hooking the Twelve"

After the last show, the Haviland boys decided it would be fun to hook their two 6 horse hitches together. It was a lot of work and took quite the crew to help get it all ready! Someone asked me if "they did this all the time?" I replied that they didn't, but that doing this was like watching kids in a candy shop. They loved it!

Parker and Troy driving the long, long hitch.

There are all the lines! Parker drove the back six and Troy the front six.

Isn't this picture neat? I love the carnival in the background.
