When I was a pup we had a two wheel buggy I would hook up to our horse and ride all around town. Us kids would use that same horse under saddle. The horse was a Shetland.
I don't have a buggy now but I would like to get one. My question to the more savvy horse folks would be, do you think a horse can be good under saddle and in harness as well?
I have heard some trainers say that a horse should not do both because the harness will desensitize the horse and make him not as good under saddle. The harness work will also give him a tough mouth.
I will be interested to hear from those of you who may have some experience with this.
