I recently started to teach my gelding a little bit about ground driving...I took him out the other day with his halter and a lead rope attached on either side, he actually took it very well and immediately knew that a left tug meant left, a right tug meant right, and both tugged with a "whoa" means stop! (of course he immediately turned around looking for a treat!) He still has his wolf fangs so I cannot train him with a bit yet...but does anyone have any good ideas for what to use as a permenant Left signal and Right...like should I use sounds or clicks or will he just know by the tugs? We walked around for 10 minutes yesterday, he was so perfect about it you would think he was trained already, but he isn't yet! He even reverses and whoa's and he trots, walks, and whoa's with ease...has anyone ever heard of just training a mini with a halter without a bit??
