Is that not another example of someone trying to put the horse before the cart?

It's a _lot_ easier to pull a roller like that than to push it. I've never heard of a horse pushing anything since the horse collar was invented.

Technically, they're pushing the horse collar which pulls the load. But you're right, pushing a load is very difficult and impossible to steer.

My Granddad always told me "don't get the cart ahead of the horse".

Speaking of wool, I love the military wool blankets(as long as you have something else between it and yourself).
