Since I ride English and have not driven very much I have no first-hand experience of western ridden horses in front of a wagon, but since neck-reining originally was used in most cultures (because you needed your right hand for your lance, your bow, your whip, your lasso, your rifle...) I find it very likely that throughout history, a great number of horses have been both ridden single-handed AND driven. I guess many farmers couldn't afford more than one horse and this one had to be both riding- and driving horse. I don't think that there has been a waterprooved division between riding- and carriagehorses throughout history. Regards Anneli
