Hello, After several successful ground driving sessions, we put to the marathon vehicle with a four year old mare and a seasoned driving horse. The green horse really stood well and got the idea of helping pull the carriage. But I am not sure that I have the pole adjusted so that she is comfortable. It is out far enough to make a v back to the breast collars with the pole straps. But she travels with a level topline and on turns or uneven ground she is getting bumped with the end of it in. If I shorten the pole and bring it back so that it is at their chest that would help alot, but I have been told that was incorrect. We have only driven twice and want her to like this pair experience and am wondering what suggestions you might have. Thank you.
