    That is one of the craziest things I have ever seen. Im speechless. Moving pretty good with 1hp. What if the horse started galloping. Imagine how many cph (cords per hour;)) you could get done!

    I'm wondering if the pitch of the conveyor is what keeps him walking? That was different, maybe Amish?

    The Amish would just rent a gas powered splitter to get around their 'beliefs'

    I'm guessing its Eastern Europe soviet era.

    Clever. I hope the horse gets some extra oats for it's efforts.
    That gives me an idea. Tell your wife to invite her girlfriends over for a free workout on your new portable gym treadmill! :p

    Get a horse and pony at least it would be one and a half horsepower.

    It would be interesting to see it stop. The conveyor would have a natural tendency to keep going especially with the flywheel on the splitter. You could see in the video where the horse tried to slow down & it bumped the cross board in the back of the stall then picked the pace back up.
