Mixed size teams?

charlottein · Aug 21, 2020

So I am predicting our new filly is going to be bigger by at least 2-3 inches from our gelding. I am thinking I will someday want to drive them as a team. I know it will be fine, but I am curious to what this kind of difference looks like, and if there are any issues? She is just a weanling so I have a long time. What are your experiences and share pics if you have them!

The swing pair on my six had a big difference in size. The solid silver was right at 34", her team mate was 30". They did fabulous together. I was worried about striding, etc, but as they learned to work together, they actually started to stride together.

One of the drivers on this forum, Northwolf, drives a pair that are not matched in size. If you search under her name, or maybe "pairs", you might find her posts. I haven't seen her on here in a few months, since things got crazy. She is in Europe.
Bsharp, your teams are always sensational.
