Horse & Cart

[@lovesbriardi]

I was taught that the correct fit of harness/cart is shafts not beyond point of shoulder and horse's butt 9-12 inches from front of dash.

How can i be in contact with you? i need some help to attach a horse to my carriage. what equipment should i use?

[@h0rseluvr]

This helped a lot! I'm going to start driving my mini :)

[@JustElly]

Okay i've watched a few video's and found out that the gear i use has only one loop that holds the bar of the cart. And when I asked around with my fellow cart driver non of them have even seen a lower loop. But when i go over the safty reason, i think it's pretty importent to have both lower and upper loop for holding the cart bar. so it won't go to low or is able to tip over. Maybe it's just a dutch thing. But i find it very strange that nearly non of the gear typer over here have both loops.

doesn't moest gear come with a kicking strap? I have one. Used it in the beginning. But found that Cupid hated it. And after he got use to the carriage we took it off which relaxed him alot more. But i do agree starting with it. Either have a cart with a protective bar or use an anti kick strap.

that horse has a really really long back like holy cow you could fit 3 english saddles on her back

[@Saartje05]

It doesn't look like the cart is in balance. Also driving a two wheel cart needs a sliding backband and it doesn't look like this harness has that. Also the shafts are quite high and long.

She has now idea what she is doing. She learned as an adult.

wolfje92 The breeching also works as a kicking strap.

[@jeanviarengo231]

A true kicking strap goes at the top point of the crupper and then to the shafts. Nothing will truly prevent kicking, but I've seen some videos with solid kicking over the dash even with britching in place

[@jeanviarengo231]

@@smokeykit57 The thing is, hes not a kicker. It is because I am often by myself and honestly anything can happen! The best horse, the best handler, the best equipment, the best situation, and anything can happen. So I use the kicking strap even though it's not down very tight just for a little bit of extra security . He is not one that is likely to kick at all! But, comma I received a broken ankle 6 years ago when he leaped in the air and bucked like a good old rodeo horse.. And another person who was writing with us witnessed something so I am cautious.

I like your video, but there's one comment I'd like to make - if you don't have a second person to go on the cart, just add a weight like a few bricks or a sack of oats, it makes all the different to the ride! The bounciness is not that horse-friendly and could easily be sorted....

[@Saartje05]

@thecostumer That's why there are carts with shafts you can make longer and shorter. If she's an official trainer it would be normal to own one. Also the harness shouldn't be used for this cart. Again, if she's a trainer she should know that and own a suitable harness. Or even different kinds of harnesses.

[@Judathehero]

I know you learned all this as an adult and didn't grow up with this. There are a lot of traditional things you don't understand. In the south lower safety loops are not common. Also ypur alignments measuring is off.

[@anncuscik2421]

thankyou very good annx

[@Linda-hs1lk]

This cart is constantly 'flapping'. Doesn't look very comfortable. Not for the horse or the driver. I drive a twee wheeled cart but it doesn't do that.

[@Saartje05]

@thecostumer Oh well, it's not my problem anyway. Not my horse, not my cart.

[@hyperfocus2011]

Good demo...That is a really long horse eh?

Jesus it scares me seeing you drive that horse. Who put this video up? How about you find someone who know something? This lady is a novice and has zero business teaching others.

WHERE IS YOUR KICK STRAP!!!! As a trainer you should know this, particularly if you are teaching beginners!!!! Prevent an accident! USE A KICK STRAP!!!

[@brees2045]

U must own shity horses if you need a kick strap

[@heatherirvine59]

I grew up in a community that relies on horses for everything and learned an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I posted that comment 8 years ago. A lot has happened since then. My horses are very well behaved and very well trained, but even the most well behaved have their moments. I apologize for the harshness of my comment.

[@lindamiggelbrink6327]

Thank you Heather! Just good common sense. There are no 100% bomb proof horses and for those who say you don't need one if your horse is trained "good"...great, the kick strap won't bother the horse then. Don't apologize for your comment Heather, again, even the most trained horses are still fight and flight instinct animals.....

It would be very nice to have a video of the actual close up on proper placement of all attaching parts of harness to cart Not a one of these videos do that .
