Hand-Crafted Horse Collar Frame

Step back in time to 1977 and discover the lost craft of the horse collar maker in Eicherscheid, Germany. This documentary shows Part 1 of the traditional process: making a collar and saddle frame from naturally curved beechwood. These frames were essential for harnessing horses to single-axle carts. In this video, you’ll see the tools, techniques, and craftsmanship that kept this trade alive for generations.
