I had interest today in my Stallion. I am really looking to find him the best possible home. The people looking at him are QH people and they already have 2 mares. My big problem is that they bought one horse trained to drive and one "they" trained to drive. They have a run of the mill EE cart which I have no problem with. It is the harness and the way they hitch. I will start with the harness. In the pic that I see it looks like the bridle is too big. The breast collar is too high. The breaching is too low and the crouper is too low and standing upright. Then lets move on to how the poor horse is hitched. The shaft wraps are looped through the footman's loops and not around the shafts to hold the cart in any way. The traces are wrapped around the shafts as they go back to the singletree and actually drape down about 6". The shaft loop is stretched way out in front as the footman's loop is pressed against it. The breeching is looped around the girth and the cart is up the horses butt because there is nothing to hold the cart back or up or down or any way at all. How do you tell some one?
