Re: [RC] Thoughts/comments on cart training? - Heidi Smith

Curious for some input on pro's/con's of training my endurance horse some
w/a jog cart.

The education of being driven is wonderful.  The main "con" is that driving
limits lateral flexion and encourages a horse to travel and maneuver with a
straight body--which is NOT what you want under saddle.  I'd think it would
be fine in small doses, as long as there is also riding going on to keep the
ability to move laterally alive and well.
