The Horse Collar 

My favorite invention is the horse collar because it was so interesting to learn about how it was invented by the Chinese in a series of refinements like the breastcollar it helped distribute the load around the horse’s breast which helped them to start pulling the load. Then soon the horse’s collar had been refined to maximize the horses benefits basically to use all of the horse’s strength. And before the invention of the horse collar it was hard for the horse to work the harder they worked the harder it became to breathe because of the ox yoke.   

My great grandpa had mules and so he had lots collars for them I actually got to hold one of the collars in my hand.  My great grandpa evan had chuckwagon we still have it in the bran today. My other great grandparents had a buckboard wagon we have it down in central Taxes today.
