Horse Training: Using Long Lines

The same type of lessons are used when preparing your horse or pony to drive. There are additional steps involved to teach them to pull, wear a harness, and not fear the shafts. Never just hook your horse or pony to a cart without thoroughly preparing by ground work. You could at the least ruin the horse, and at the worst serious injury or even death could occur - to you or your horse. Driving is an involved sport, it takes training and skill.
