training horses driving pair, homemade pole

[horsefavors]

Wonderfully done! Thanks for sharing. I am working at getting a pair of miniatures together for a friend. I am so glad to see others training with open bridles!

I would totally love the "plans" for the pairs training pole.

@horsefavors We had no plans, but study the vid and it should be pretty obvious. 2-inch pipe, a T-joint glued with PVC pipe glue as used for plumbing, but beware it was not really strong enough glue and pulled apart on us a couple of times. Holes drilled for bolted-in eyes to fasten the traces and pole straps to. These horses were well-desensitized to things touching their legs in their earliest training, so it didn't bother them at all when the pole parts dropped down and started dragging.

@horsefavors Thanks for the information. Yes, I noted must have been PVC, just curious how it was all attached. I will take youre advice!
