This message is from: "Pat Holland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Training fm Cart to Saddle??? I started four horses to saddle for a client, of which three had been driven prior to coming to me. Two of the pre-drivens started under saddle like butter on hot bread. I could not have asked for more willing, trusting good minded horses. The 3rd did not do as well - but as I went back to ground driving I found he didn't do well in that venue either. All three were differently bred and different in personalities. Take each horse as an individual, some take to driving and think riding is for their distant cousins, others make great riding and freak in front of a cart. The only concern I would have if the horse was driven only as a pair - they might show a few signs of insecurity, like lack of attention, bolting, clinging to the trees......
