[drivingpairs] pushing pairs

We had this problem a couple of times with our mini 4-up. The right leader started this in a parade right after a little child ran out from the spectators and started petting this horse. He didn't expect the petting and got scared. For the rest of the parade he leaned on the other leader. It was a site, to be sure.

We were in another parade and the same thing happened. A mother told her child to rush on out there and pet that horse! WOW, before we could do anything about it, this poor little horse was being petted again when he didn't expect it and he did the leaning thing again.

We have never switched them. That does sound like a good way to handle this problem to me. This horse did stop doing this after each occurance. But I think if he got scared when being driven again, he would probably do the same thing. Seems to me it is a security thing for him.
