JF...this is what I"m talking about. She does it with every horse that comes to her place....whether they are "said" to be broke or not. She just thinks it's helps them...plus it helps her get to know what the horse knows...and doesn't know.

I would totaly back this trainer up on driveing one you don't know.....people don't alway's tell the truth when they send a horse to a trainer Smile That being said I have seen as many or more horse's get in trouble by advancing to slowly as to fast! I have had a number of problem horse's over time that were bomb proof in an enclosure but had had a wreck out side and were determined to find another one. I run my rein's from the bit, hackamore, halter, through a 2-3" ring attached to the top back cinch d ring with a bent piece of semi tough wire. It keep's the rein's up out of their feet, makes the draw closer to were I will ride them, and in any panick situation I can drop the off side rein, pull on the inside rein hard enough to straighten and release the bent wire and I am left with a nice long lead rope to control with. With this set up I am comfortable to drive any where I think might be trouble, through the tree's, across the creek, past the chicken pen etc.

When V_Key was young I started some ponies with Drive Lines - then I could school V_Key and the ponies at the same time. I could show"V" what to do and make sure the pony did it. "Positive reinforcement". (EVEN FIGURE 8's)
In the 40's 50's I was Taught N 8 a lot of corral dust - Many of those horses were All Ways Cold Backed - even when they passed - - then "I" started to Learn - - NO MORE Coal Back Horses

A friend found N bought a "Gooseneck Roman Style" cart made out of a 55 gal Barrel with Rubber Tires - it work very well - I tried to buy it when he Passed but someone wanted it more.
Connected at/on a surf-single - the bad part was animals could do a 360° but if you were quick with the reins.
