    How much can a mini pair safely pull?

    Wow! That is quite the load! My main reason for concern is that I drive with horses of all sizes and I just dont want to ask too much of them. I know that I need to build them up both physically and mentally. But ultimately I dont want to hurt them in any way. Those two are my buddies!

    How much weight is safe??

    I think you will be surprised. Just start out ground driving and gradually get him used to the cart and pulling weight, you will be sitting in the cart in no time. Find someone to help guide you, it always helps to have a mentor or a trainer. Driving is a blast!

    OK, don't shoot me

    Hmmm well for starters I would never recommend a seat belt in a cart, no you dont want to be thrown from the cart but you also dont want to be attached and not be able to get out when you need to. I found that if I balance myself in the center of the seat and spread my feet out it helps when you...
