I have driven for years. I started with race horses and graduated to minis. Anyway, I was reading some artical that I can not find again but it was how to attach the cart to the horse. It has confused me as to the traces. Now with the race horses the traces fasten on a pin for a loss of better words on the cross bar of the jog cart (no singletree) I get that. With pleasure carts, mini wagons and the such all have a singletree and it should move back and forth when you are driving. This artical said that the breaching should be wrapped through the footmans loop and tightly around the shaft of the cart catching the traces in the wraps around the shaft. Now here is what I am not getting. If I do that the traces won't have any motion and therfore the singletree will have no motion. My question is, "Is this artical right?" Also "What if you do not use a breaching?"
