Description
Hitching a large animal with an overwhelming flight or fight instinct to a wheeled inanimate object may not be the smartest idea we’ve had. It’s no surprise that this doesn’t always go as planned, especially when we involve scary horse eating objects, such as a drifting grocery bag.
Learn how to get by those scary objects, ghosts in the corner, and even the horse eating bags. You can easily change your horse’s focus from what dangers may lie ahead, to what it is that you really want from him. This has been one of my most popular and useful articles to carriage drivers of all kinds, from recreational drivers to competitors, and livery drivers.

What a great article on the importance of focusing on driving where you want to go. How, by doing so, will help get a fearful horse past the scary object. Thank you Andy for breaking this down step by step. Great for the “why it is important to” questions. Always learn something that is helpful.

One of the best, to the point and concise articles I’ve ever read and at an opportune time for me as my 4 1/2 year old mini and I are in cart training.

Wow, what a great read! So much of this makes sense to me. Some of the things I knew, but it really opened my eyes to better ways of approaching things with a spooky horse.
