[QUOTE="Sparky, post: 436705, member: 8646"]Equestrian here, with some tidbits of info :-): The wheels on the plow/tiller are wide so they don't sink into the earth, but not so wide as to add turning resistance when the plow/tiller is pulled. The horse in the snow has an overcheck that's a bit tight - it's the piece of leather that attaches to the bit, splits over the nose, runs over the top of the head and attaches at the base of the neck (you can see the hook in the photo). The overcheck prevents the horse from putting its head too low - or down at all, in this case. :/ Probably explains the horse's unhappy expression.[/QUOTE]
