This is an excellent resource, thanks! I am going to share it with my HorseDriver group run by Chimacum Tack. Btw that group is great for harness and training questions. They have some helpful posts with photos that show the right and wrong way, which has helped me learn to fix my harness if it doesn't look right. But still learning, just found out that my breastcollar was low to protect the windpipe, but it was creating a low line of draft on my former donkey driving partner (which are hard to get that happy medium.) With my new pony it should be easier to get the breastplate higher.

I hate using the whip at driving
@elihop94196 жыл бұрын
Thg Gghg There is nothing wrong with the proper use of a whip while driving a horse. This misconception comes from a misunderstanding of the purpose of the whip. The whip is not to hit the horse...it is to aid in communication. When you are riding you have your legs to cue the horse. When driving, you only have your reins, voice and whip. I use mine very little, but a gentle tap on the rump can be a nice reminder to my boy if he is being lazy and not being responsive to my voice. Too many people; thinking whips are cruel, think it is ‘kinder’ to slap them in the rump with lines (reins). This is a very bad habit and it can not only hurt the pony’s mouth, it can also confuse them due to conflicting signals. My main use of the whip is when I want to make a tight turn. Rather than only using rein signals, if I want a tight turn, I tap his side lightly with the whip. If I want a really tight turn, I have a special voice command that I add in as well. (All of the aids should work in harmony) It can also be a lifesaver if you are sharing a road with cars. Any aid can be abusive if misused, even an important one such as a driving whip, but blaming the aid itself and choosing not to use it can be even worse.

@@elihop9419 I once needed to whip the windscreen of an automobile when the driver was not paying attention and was inadvertently running my horses off the road. Occasionally it is necessary to whip dogs that are attacking one's horse.

Maybe Minis can't withstand the concussion of paved roads, but that doesn't necessarily apply to all horses. Miniatures probably don't have the bone and hoof structure to take working on hard surfaces for long, but other breeds, such as this sturdy-legged Welsh (I'm guessing) can do just fine with moderate exposure to paved roads.

No, traditional English driving. It's often referred to as Coachman style nowadays. Achenbach is a derivative of the traditional English style of driving. He studied under Edwin Howlett, the foremost teacher of the English style of his day.

I have just reviewed: Carriage Driving - Basic Driving, parts 1through 5. This has been the most comprehensive series on driving I have ever reviewed. From the impeccable turnout of driver, groom and horse, to the detailed visual and narrative, everything came together in my mind with clarity. I've come away from many books and videos feeling dazed and muddled. The emphasis on safety coincided with both reason and demonstration. I am most grateful to all! Many Thanks,

I'm Dutch, so I just translate it. We call it cutting in Dutch and not clipping. doesn't matter a bit. And you tell me I don't know 'nothing'? The hairs on the nose are there to prevent the horse hitting its nose because he can't see it. And yes, IF they have fly masks on it won't be a real problem. But most horses don't or wear fly masks with ear protection. Also it's just ugly to see. Why not showing horses how they're supposed to be? With (groomed) hair. Looks so much better.
