Hi again!
I love showing in local miniature horse shows, don't get me wrong, but I feel like I could do more! My gelding loves to drive and so do I, he is such a pleasure to do anything with really. But I have started hearing more and more about these combined driving events and how more and more minis are taking the shows by storm! I would really like to try this! the question is.....How? I use to ride large horses dressage, so is it the same concept, just in a cart? Or are there different things to look for and train them to do since they are in the cart? My sister (who still rides dressage) and I were discussing this yesterday. does dressage in the cart require more detailed training because there is no rider in their back, pushing them with their leg, to help them use themselves properly? The whole concept is very interesting to me and I would love to find out more! Especially about hazards! Please please please help me out with ANYTHING and ANY info you have is useful to me!
Thank you!,
