Ok....Big horses first I guess!
Shog, 28 yr old retired TB X gelding, 16.2hh. He actually was trained to drive at 26 and has competed in two driving competions, a CDE and a pleasure show. He was an eventing horse and wanted something to do....so he learned to drive! This is one of his favorite things to do, even though now it is limited to ocassional walks around the block.
This is using a friend's borrowed marathon carriage, before we got ours.
Ref, 7 yr old Paint X mare. We have had her from birth, I trained her to ride and drive. She has competed in several competitions. She is a great pleasure drive...quiet and happy to do a nice relaxed drive.
This is at a (very) muddy competition in Feb of this year, with our marathon carriage:
And last but not least, Gabriel. He is not trained yet, but will be next summer. He is a 2 yr old Paint/Clydesdale cross that should make a great riding/driving horse. He will be started open bridle, but is modeling his new russet harness!
That makes three out of our four horses that drive(or will).
