Wowser, that's exciting news! But now would pulling a carriage be any 
different then just riding a horse???Or would you expect to see the same 
results?
At least the "being in condition" part I think is the same.  I still give the 
horses off before a big coaching or driving event.  I find they have more 
stamina.

Last summer when we did the 126 mile coaching run from Monticello to Poplar 
Forest, retracing Jefferson's route, I put the horses out in pasture for two 
weeks of rest before and they did well. But again they were fit before
