We believe in training horses to be safe, confident and happy in any sphere of harness work. For us, breaking horses to harness involves more than teaching a horse to pull a carriage - we believe even young, newly-broken horses should be happy and confident as this makes them better driving animals all round. If you know your horse has been broken properly and has the confidence to face different situations, this in turn gives the driver more confidence which can only be a good thing for everyone concerned.
This video shows Aled, a 4yo Welsh Section D who was sent to us to work on his confidence in harness. He hadn't encountered any traffic before and although his owners had already broken him to pair and single he was quite uptight. They wanted him to get used to traffic and also to see if we could stop him from lifting his leg when he was asked to stand. This film shows the progress he made during his time with us, being driven amongst different traffic and in different driving environments. We spent 6 weeks working on building his confidence, both in man and in himself, and getting him settled and happy with what he was being asked to do in harness. He has now gone back home so that his owners can spend some time driving him in a pair and reacquaint themselves with him after his training. During this film Barry explains more about our training philosophy and what we have achieved with Aled.
