Hi List
i have to agree that sometimes horses trained as a pair are a bit of a hassle
as singles. My pair LOVES to go together and sometimes get snitty alone, but
we try and give them those opportuities as they arise, it is good for them. It
is nice to have a really steady horse, tho, that you can attach a young one to
so they get the "aha" moment faster. We had a nice mare (13h2") that was
ground driving fine, but when hitched single was very diffident, just not sure.
We put her with her sister (14h3") two times around the farm and she was then
much easier to bring along single. She now is driving single with a family
that loves to go out with her, she gains a lot of courage with every drive and
that first experience with her sister did a lot. We have a lot of youngsters
to bring along this next year and I am sure our two "steady eddies" will be
happy to mosey along with them to show them the ropes.
