Suddenly I have lots of questions I feel I should have known the answers to before now
How do you go about fitness building in harness? is it much the same as under saddle? I've had Hank mostly walking with very short trots of 50 yards or so. I've not fittened anything in harness before just used a horse ready to trot miles, I'm not sure if lots of walking is much harder on them? Hank has both stifles that lock so need to be careful not to over-do things with him and keep it as easy as possible whilst building him up.
