Driving Section A's

[haras]

I have a young section A that I am planning to back at age 3 next year.

After she is backed and being ridden on nicely, I would like to break her to drive too. (doing it in this order to make sure that we get canter sorted!) but what I would like to know is how much weight they can realistically pull?

also any other tips welcome!

Provided you get your vehicle correctly balanced they can pull a surprising weight. My Section A was quite happy with 30 stone of weight up. I've never tried her with more.

My 24yo sec a pulled a driving trials legal carriage with two passengers around the 15k very hill course at catton park last year. Including racing round the obstacles.... never underestimate a welshie! It's all about fitness and training.
