Barbara-
Thanks for the kind words!! I really love pair driving and generally feel
so much more comfortable with two as long as they both have semi-sane minds.
As we are so hot down here there were times this summer that we drove in the
dark of night down the roads in our neighborhood to avoid the heat. We just
put on our reflective vests, I have a headlamp for my helmet and the ponies
have amber flashers for their foreheads, chests and on the outside shaft
loops. Then we have red flashers and SMV signs for the rear plus my husband
with a big flashlight just in case. Would I have tried that with a
single...not a chance! (Well I have done it but it wasn't as enjoyable and
I wouldn't recommend it.) But they all seemed to love it and were very
relaxed where we humans were mainly on red alert. The fjords weren't
bothered in the least by the car headlights coming right at them or the deer
jumping out of the dark either. Never underestimate the herd
dynamic/dependence. I just try to become an important part of this and hope
they learn to depend on me more as their leader when in harness than each
other.
Fjords are perfect and Pony Pairs rule! :-)
