Dilemma #2…too much horse?

[Thecowboysgirl]

I have put ads out on the FlaHorse forum, the Horsetopia Fla forum and even on ft. Myers craigslist searching for anyone who might know how to drive or work horse-drawn farm machinery who could teach me. I’ve gotten ZIP 🙁

BTW someone joked about this awhile back and I’m hardly joking anymore- I’m gonna wind up offering one of you poor New Englanders a free plane ticket and a free Fla vacation next winter to come teach me how to do this lol.

I have also searched extensively to see what’s for sale around here and as far as harness trained I’m coming back with nearly ZIP for that as well. Since we started this thread I have been unable to find a QH who is trained to drive for sale (not that I’m ready to buy, I just wanted to know if they’re out there) I did see one Standardbred for adoption out of a rescue who drives.

Once in awhile I see a draft for sale who drives, although I’ve been emailing a woman in N. Florida who has drafts and it’s got me thinking I might be out of my league there.

Which brings me back to my original pondering…could I teach a QH to drive & do my farmwork even though I have no experience either? I do have a roundpen, surely that would help as far as a safe place to hook up to something strange.

I think that is a good price with leather harness for six year old mules if they are as good as advertised!
