Hi - My name is Susan Lawson and I'm new to the list.  I just picked up a 
second fjord this past weekend and will hopefully be driving a pair in the 
next year.  She is only three and not broke to drive at this point.  I had 
planned on driving her as a single first before hooking her up as a pair.  I 
also have a Pacific Dartmoor and was hoping to be able use it for a pairs 
vehicle.  My fjords are on the lighter side, 13'2, and probably around 850 
lbs.  Would it be unsafe to use with this pair?  I had planned on putting 
some weight on the back step when I didn't have a groom.  I will be in the 
market for a synthetic pairs harness if someone has a reasonably priced one 
out there.
