Donn, glad things worked out. You mentioned with the foot rope he was able to take advantage still while ground driving. Did you come up with a better option while still ground driving to keep him from taking off.

Kelly my sons morgan mare around 14 hands works the haflinger size forcart well.
You might have to do a little adjustment on the shaft length.

Donn great observation you are right on. Interestingly the chestnut was the green horse and one I would have expected to be worked up and wanting to be 1st. Heck she was like an old plow horse. The black who we have used a lot was all worked up and wanted to be way ahead, just acting or scared and confused… We backed up and drove the black some more alone. Did some more ground driving together. Then we hooked up and used separate lines on both horses with two people. So we could hold the black back with out messing with the other horse. This worked great. Black continued to act up at 1st but we went a mile and things settled down after the 1st 1/4 mile. We will keep on this track for a little while. I’ll have to go back and reread any post on team driving or one horse hot. Team line work is not muscle memory yet but we will get there.

Donn/others go ahead and blast all the things we did wrong. I can handle it and it may help some one else who may read this post. We do not want to lead any others astray.

Thanks
