I think I'd like to try driving with my horse, just for fun not competitively, but don't really know where to start. There's Ashfields Carriage club near me so I'm going to see if I can get some lessons there, does anyone know what they're like? I don't want to spend loads while I'm how my horse will get on with it either, so have been trying to find a second hand harness to fit 15.2hh without much luck but I've seen cheap sets on ebay for about £70. I'm always wary of buying cheap rubbish on ebay but are these any good just for having a go, before I shell out on something better?
We don't have a school big enough to pull a cart in, though we do have a field used for jumping in summer that I might be able to use for training. But generally most driving would have to be on a road, how do people find that? Is it too dangerous? We have a single track lane I could go on but I worry about getting out of the way for cars as there aren't many passing places. The main road can be busy and people often speed so not sure how relaxing that would be either!
