Talking Re: driving horses.

Just be careful when training them to drive as it can be a risky business! I helped out for 3 years in a driving yard, and regularly groomed at National Carriage Driving events such as Royal Windsor, Lowther and others. I have seen some nasty accidents, and actually been in one where the ponies took off over nothing and I ended up in hospital!

Get a good trainer (Karen Bassett is the world's top female carraige-driver) she gives really good lessons/tips/advice on breaking to drive, and learning the ropes. For me, it was harder to learn to drive than to ride!!

Good luck!!!
