[RC] re: [RC] Walmart Pony Rider - Paddi - Trail Pal

"I was thinking of tying a spring horse to a toboggan and doing some
hill work next."

It's not that far fetched!  One year when I lived in Maryland, we had
gotten a blizzard every other weekend for 6 weeks.  Lots of snow,
packed down between blizzards.  Previously, I had tried training my LD
horse to cart and harness, but he wasn't very thrilled by the idea. 
Once we had all that snow, though, I put on his harness and a bareback
pad, and brought my cross-country skis to the boarding stable.  One of
us would ride (and steer) and someone else would wear the skis and hang
onto the harness (where it normally attaches to the cart).  We took
turns doing this all afternoon, and my horse had a good time too!
