I will ask him so as I see him, it is usually once a week, as he is quite unwell, and someone else is looking after his two year old filly for him. His other colt is in training elsewhere.
I have only driven for a few years as…"
KM Adams replied to Leida Wales's discussion Training Carts in the group Calling all drivers!"There are a couple of different companies (one in green and not John Deere) so there may be less expensive alternatives, as well as please check the used market.
Yes on brakes.
This one is horse sized shafts. They also come…"
Leida Wales replied to Leida Wales's discussion Training Carts in the group Calling all drivers!"Thanks, Katrina. I looked at a forecart, but it only had an implement seat on it. I have since checked out the pioneer Equipment site and see the options that are available. I will talk to yhe harness maker to see if he…"
KM Adams replied to Leida Wales's discussion Training Carts in the group Calling all drivers!"I, personally would urge you not to go into a "training cart" like this as I do not view this at all as a training cart - esp with a green driving Friesian.

Jennifer Moore replied to Leida Wales's discussion Training Carts in the group Calling all drivers!"Disclaimer - I am a total newbie driver. :-) However, I was strongly cautioned against those carts by more experienced drivers because they are so light and can flip. No idea how true this is and presumably there are folks out there…"
