If using a yolk that rotates fore and aft, a concern was voiced that the inside horse on a turn would move too close to the carriage. If the inside horse is properly forward, this should not be a problem If it is, you probably have too short traces. On another note. I do use breeching when I start my horses, as the jump starting you have sometimes with young horses in a pair can bring dramatic bumps, but I also teach my multiple horses that things bumping into their hocks is not a big deal. None of mine will run off if they happen to bump a hock, and it does remind them to keep forward.
