Re: [RC] Thoughts/comments on cart training? - Karen Sullivan

Very good point, but I was also thinking, what a great training tool for
conditioning
and miles, WITHOUT  the stresses of a rider on the back!

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.
