I'd love to be able to drive Roxy, as well as ride. I think she would look stunning trotting around with a cart/trap and for some reason I think it would be something she would take to very well.
But how on earth do I go about looking into teaching her, and me, to drive? I haven't done any driving with a horse at all, not sure about Rox.
My only concern being that on our yard, while we have great access to endless miles of hacking, to get out there from the back of our yard we have to pass through a small gate only just big enough for a horse & rider. The main entrance is down a very pot holed track and straight onto a busy dual carriageway. So we either learn in the school or up & down the track on the yard, or I take her somewhere in a lorry/trailor.
Does anybody know of anybody who teaches down south & is there anything we can do to get started on our own?
