[drivingpairs] Just wondering

Cindy had many questions about which horse was being trained by the rider 
riding "tandem", the "wheeler" or the leader?  Answer: All THREE, e.g. BOTH 
horses to going one in front and the other behind, AND the rider in working 
both horses. BUT all three should be well experienced already in single work. 
Next Cindy asked if she could make trails narrower for a tandem than a pair. 
Answer: No, because the tandem vehicle is as wide as a pair vehicle.  Size of 
animals: Yes, the leader can be a bit smaller, however, he MUST be more 
FORWARD than the wheeler. For a good driving book, I recommend: "The 
Principles of Driving - by The German National Equestrian Federation"  and 
second the recommenation of "Max Pape - The Art of Driving" both available 
through the ADS (American Drivingh Society) and CAA (Carriage Association of 
America).
