Well, I only had to help hook up a team once, when I was a kid, back on the farm.

It was a hot day in July after about 2 weeks of solid rain. We had about 150 acres of knee high corn practically underwater and was starting to "fire" (turn yellow then brown because it was drowning).

Too muddy to get a tractor in the fields (besides it would have knocked down too much corn). So, after about two days of shoveling out the ends of dead furrows, my dad had the idea of borrowing our neighbor's (Mr Brown - I kid you not) team of horses to plow out the dead furrows (ditches in the fields).

Welp, we hooked up the team and I rode them over to our farm. My father was not real patient with horses, so I spent the next two days on foot, leading the stupid, lazy animals through the muddy corn fields, while my father struggled with the plow and cussed the horses.

Yes, I have forgotten how to hook up a team of horses -

Twas not on a stone tablet, it was on parchment and it was tacked on the barn wall.

See - I read the manual even back then -

Piff so you where rich enough to barrow horses?
Try plowing with a pair of asses.

Yep, we were upper class farmers.
