Re: driving horses.
I have just taken driving up in July due to arthritis i cant ride my TB x mare as much as I would like to so a friend exercises her for me when i am not up to it
I am now driving and safe to go out alone and have the choice of driving either a 15.2 dales or a 14.3 Hafflinger x fresian. I am totaly addicted and drive every day now

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!!! xXx
