agmantoo said:Tango, the collar is pushed, that I agree. However the load is pulled. You ever try to push a trace, be it leather,chain, or rope?![]()
I actually saw a picture one time of a horse that was behind a cart that was turned around backwards, with the horse in the back, But the horse was still pushing the cart with his shoulders.uncle Will in In. said:Bumpus: Be careful or we're going to get the cart before the horse and Pappy warned us about that.
I get what you mean.. but.. the location of the attachment is not what differentiates a push from a pull.. the horse is not pushing the weight away from his physical body.. like a benchpress.. pushing is to exert force away from you.. even if the object doesnt move and you do... take an anchor pull.. same thing.. its a pull no matter where the arms are. This is a physics term.. think of it that way.. what direction is the force exerted what direction is the energy direct opposed to the object at rest? Thats how you decide.. if the horse walked backwards that would be a push.. likely break the harness trying haha.. but... doesnt matter where the weight is attached.. hes not moving the attachment.. hes just moving forward an its being drug with him. Whats confusing you is lifting.. lol.. horses dont benchpress lol.. use first principles in all things.. it clears things up.. even when your being lied to relentlessly hahaha.. go to the root of problem or question work up.. you never fail that way, even if its redundant you wouldnt believe the subtle things you miss..
That is what I said a Horse does not pull a load.
A horse that is in a harness pushes a load with his or her shoulders with a collar which is over their shoulders, which is connected to two large straps of long leather which is connected to the load.
The horse then moves forward and pushes the load with their shoulders by pushing against the collar.
If you ever go to the state fairs that have horse pulls, just remember it is really a Horse Pull.
The only real way a horse can pull a load is if you tie it to their tail and they walk forward. Or the horse could use it's teeth to pull on something small and light weight.
A horse pushes a wagon, a plow, a sled, a log, etc.
An ox does the same thing, it pushes a load with it's shoulders.
Horses and Ox do not pull loads they push a loads.

The horse pushes into the harness, the combination of the horse and the harness, pulls the load. If the load is following behind the horse, then the horse is pulling the load..
