Hi I don't use too many voice commands. I use "annnnnnnd annnnd" and say walk or say trot or say whoa. This annnnnnnd is sort of like a half halt to them. The ears come back and they wait for the next command. I have found this to be excellent for them. They do better with the annnnnnnnnnnnnd. Jeff Morse taught me that at a clinic and it has been working good. I use it for different gaits in a pleasure class and also in Dressage for my halts. They seem to halt better. I drive a pair of Shetland Mares. I am also working on a pair of Shetland Geldings who are a little bit bigger. I ground drove them together last week and they did wonderful. They each drive single. I can't wait to hitch them together to the carriage. Does anyone have any advice for when I can do this? Should I just go ahead or should I wait and ground drive them together more.
