[drivingpairs] Re: New Pair

Lona, we ground drive our pairs and use the 4 up lines as that gives you
alot more room behind them and allows them to trot if in a round pen without
you having to keep up. At least use the pair lines for your safety and
comfort!

> Thank you for all the information posted to this list.  My "potential"
pair became my "driving" pair this week!  I harnessed my palomino brothers,
used a trailer tie (with panic snap on one end) to connect them at the
breast collar and tried to ground drive them in the arena.  Good thing they
are patient because we fumbled around a lot!  I first tried driving only one
but that didn't work; we see-sawed, one turned a 180 on me, so I bridled
both of them.  That worked a lot better and eliminated the mentioned
problems.  I used my single driving reins on both of them and that just
added to my fumbling around.  I need to figure out how to adjust my pair
lines and give it another try.  Its sunny today; I think I'll do just that!
