It sound like a horrible accident. I have been thur something very
similar. It is important to get them hooked up again soon. I have
heard of one Fjord that a professional trainer had that destroyed two
sleights. The horse wasn't scared

I agree with you in part, that if you have access to an experienced driving
horse to start a greenie out with, great! A woderful part of the whole

I am coming into this whole driving discussion a little late, sorry!
I am really glad that you were not seriously injured, Robert. I know the
psychic damage is the real un-doing in this whole mess.

Bill, your posting about first using an older seasoned horse along with a
green one is an excellent contributing comment! Actually, Gene mentioned
that very same thing when I posted this morning (yes, he really did) but I

OK, I will tell the story soon, but I think Steve is being really mean, because

Cynthia - you made some very good points. As a new driver myself I can't
stress enough to go slowly and spend time just bonding with a horse. I did
not drive my ll year old gelding much during the first year I owned him. I

I am sorry to hear about your incident with Redford and I am glad your physical
injuries are minimal. I have been there and done that with my Morgan. I did
eventually have to give up driving him. I know the incident is very serious

That sounded like a terrible experience Robert. How well we all know
lessons in caution can be mighty painful.
There was a John Lyons sample periodical a few months ago in which he
stated that driving is more dangerous than riding; more

Upon reading this carefully the second time, I noticed you said you didn't
have the breeching on! Why? Is it possible that this caused the problem?
Did the cart hit him in the butt? Seems like this might be a possibility!

I think sometimes our placid fjords take a while to react, and you think
they're all done with something and move on and they just aren't ready to
react yet. Then it comes like it would with any other horse, just delayed.

My Lord, Bob that was a total disaster and thank God you and the horse made

times I have heard of the sudden runaway horse. Did your horse show this
behavior before? Do

Hi sheri
The step from ground driving to hitching can seem like one small step
for man but a giant step for horse. Several weeks ago I took that step . I
