Chinese Horse Pulley


The Chinese horse pulley was created in 300 BC. The Chinese thought it was quite handy seeing as how the rope would hurt the horses neck.

The better collar allows the horse to carry 1 and a half tons without hurting it. It was also easier to lead the horse around. The new collar supports the horses neck and shoulders making it easier for the horse to carry heavy objects.

Did you know we use a pulley nearly everyday !I think not only were the Chinese smart but they also cared about their animals.
