I'm sure mud is good conditioning if you don't hurt them or leave their
shoes behind, it sure is hard work. The one and only time (so far, haha!)
that my driving horse has run away I happened to be alongside a freshly
plowed wheat field. I was able to turn him into it and about halfway across
he decided that hang glider wasn't all that scary and maybe he didn't have
to gallop away from it!
