[drivingpairs] Re: Poles, et

Hardy and Don,

Thank you so much for your clear explanations!  You would have laughed the 
first time I hooked my pair to the sleigh.  I had driven them quite a bit with 
the marathon wagon, so had used a spring pole setup without eveners.  Well, the 
sleigh did not come with evener straps, and nothing was fixed...I couldn't 
figure out this setup, I was thinking it was the stupidest setup ;-).  Of 
course 
Mr. Gung Ho moves forward and lazy sis gets whacked in the hocks with the 
sleigh.  So we very quickly stopped, and I ran back to the barn to get the 
leather collars that I use as halters around their throatlatches when I have 
them 
tied to harness up.  I had found that those helped to teach them to stay 
together when I had started training them, so on went the collars, and off we 
went 
dashing through the snow!!!  You can see one of the sleighing photos on our 
website <A HREF="www.starcrossstable.com">www.starcrossstable.com</A>.  BTW, I 
just picked up evener straps for the sleigh - now pray for snow this weekend so 
we can take some more sleighing photos for Christmas cards!!  Thanks again :-)
