Capitan Saddle Horses Train for Wagon Pulls in Old West Style
Max Davis and Kern Mattei train Haflinger horses to pull wagons in Capitan. The 13.5 to 14.5 hand animals are gentle, cost 5000 to 6000 dollars for a well broke team, and come from Illinois or Pennsylvania with training that can take 30 days to a year. They use biothane harness and plan a El Paso weekend for ladies to learn riding and handling pack animals. Davis notes horses travel up to 60 miles in training and work best in paired teams.
