How much ground driving has she had?Thanks JulesAnd Kim! The horse is lookin' purty good too eh?
This is Desiree's 2 year old filly McCarthys Lonesome Dove who is going to be just killer in harness by the time she is old enough to compete I think! She doesn't yet get under herself really well but this is only her SECOND DAY in the shafts and she is still working on finding her balance, I am thrilled with her!!! She already has the rudiments of bending in that she gets her back legs under herself in the turns and has one heck of a motor in that butt! We haven't had a check on her yet so she can build herself up to carry. Desiree is contemplating a possible pleasure driving career for her as well as the breed show ring. I am really looking forward to seeing her compete!
I agree, it just startled me that she had such a very high headset at this point without a check on. Turbo's got a naturally high neck set but is still working pretty long-and-low at this point; then again, he's MUCH more butt-high than she is and needs more work to learn to get it under himself.MiLo Minis said:I don't like to check them up when they are just learning their balance - they tend to rely on the check too much to support them.
