Wow - what a lively discussion I started!!!  .  Glad to liven  up the winter 
discussions!!    
 
I have driven Tandem previously with two of our Friesian mares.  We  had a 
blast!!  The leader was a Type A very forward horse.  The  hardest thing for 
her 
was learning to not pull the  entire equipage!  She bent the tongues of the 
buckles on the  wheeler with the keys b/c of her efforts.  But - her attitude 
did make  it easier to drive them - she just wanted to know which way to go, 
and at what  speed, and the wheeler was very happy to follow her dam.  (She's 
that way  on the trail too - follow the leader is easier .)
