[drivingpairs] roller bolt traces to a singletree

I have singletrees that allow for either slotted traces or roller bolts.  I
have not used the roller bolt traces yet because I think it would be best to
have a "safety strap" on the ends.  

The only info I've seen about roller bolt trace attachments was to
stationary upright attachments on the carriage.  Is there any "rules of
thumb" regarding roller bolt traces (vs. others) stationary vs. moveable
carriage attachment and the relationship to collars vs. breast collar?

Hi Thom, 

We are near you, in Owosso.  However we don't train
horses for others or give lessons.

  Locally (Michigan) there are a couple Driving clubs.
 The Michigan Horse Drawn Vehicle Association is for
all type driving animals, with a state-wide
membership.  Many singles but some Pairs.  Very nice
bunch of folks with activities for all driving
interests, picnics, showing, clinics, speakers in
winter.  There is a website:

http://www.mhdva.com/

I just noticed that they posted a photo of daughter
and husband with a single at the summer show!  She has
the bay horse coming right at you in the center.  She
used horse as her 4-H project in riding and driving. 
He is usually a wheeler for my husband.  Real nice
horse.

The other club is the Metamora Carriage Driving
Association.  Checking with the ADS site, it says to
contact Terry Pickett, who is a very skilled Coachman.
 I have his number as 810-796-3024.

Metamora club is more localized around the Metamora
area, Lapeer, Oxford because most of the members are
there.  Started out as a neighborhood group.  Also
very nice folks with their activities going on
locally.  They do put on the Metamora CDE in June, a
terrific Event.  They could give you numbers of
Carriage driving trainers, since I believe they are
all members.  Not sure if you want Trainer for single
training or for Multiples, for you or a horse. 
Multiples trainers are harder to find, unless you are
into Drafts or Draft style Ponies.

I will look forward to meeting you if you can attend
any driving activities.  Welcome to the group.
