Carriage driving help needed

[abi31]

I have 2 shetlands growing too fat in the field who I am paranoid will end up with laminitis. I use grazing muzzles, restricted grazing, soaked hay, etc. and they are still larger than I would like. When I got them I was told they had been long-reined in preperation for breaking to driving.

I have limited experience in driving but would love to give it a go. Is there anyone in the Norfolk/Suffolk area that you guys and gals can recommend? Or is anyone on here local and happy to offer their services? My ponies and I will need training from pretty much scratch and are obviously happy to pay for instruction.

It will be a nice change for my other mare Lucy to stay in the field, chilling out whilst her companions do some work for a change!! I am near Beccles in Suffolk if that helps. Thanks.xx

If you look on the British driving society website there is a list of registered instructors and there should be someone in your area and even if they dont break horses themselves they should be able to recommend someone

there is a link below to the list of instructors
