endurance driving harnesses/carts

["Mieske" <mmieske@netonecom.net>]

Hello ridecampers,

Nelson is interested in training some of our horses to drive this year and perhaps eventually trying out some endurance driving, even if it's only conditioning with us as we ride.  For any of you who have been doing this, we are curious if you might have suggestions for harnesses...we are having a biothane harness made and figure we might as well add in any modifications or future necessary things at the time it is made.  Nelson has had many good ideas and our Amish guy had a few ideas of his own...we would welcome any thoughts or suggestions on making the equipment practical for endurance.  Do we need a special sponge attachment????  <VBG>  Hahaha...but who knows???  That could become a whole nother sport...sponging on the fly from the seat of a cart.  Speaking of which...we have something in mind for a cart, too but any thoughts and suggestions on carts are also welcome!!  Thanks all ya' all...hope I got that right (see! I have been lurking!).
