Horse Drawn Promotions - Breaking horses to harness. http://www.horsedrawnpromotions.com/
This bay stallion belongs to the wife of the owner of Brunswick Carriage Company. He had only been shown in-hand and used to cover mares, and was hard-mouthed on the left hand-side. We broke him to harness so he could be driven on a soft contact throught the middle of town. This clip shows him nose-to-nose with an in-season coloured mare - due to our training he stands quietly and does as he is told in harness.

  • why is the tail so short?

  • @malekith87 The bay stallion's tail is not actually short - it is plaited and tied up. Sometimes this is done in competition driving to keep the tail out the way; as this pony was used for showing, we wanted to keep his tail as clean and full as possible as well! Tying their tails up also allows us to better watch their action behind - for example we can easily check whether horses are brushing, or keep an eye on any boots they might be wearing to ensure they do not slip.

  • What a brave boy! I think my horse would have flipped with those steel sheets lol

  • @CrimsonInHumanBlood Thanks for your comment - however this pony was trained to cope with the sheets. When he first came he was not very confident, but after we broke him to harness we are showing here that he has the confidence to face such a loud hazard. It can take weeks to train them to this standard, but we believe it is better that the horse is safe, happy and confident in any sphere of harness work.

  • What is the stallion? He looks like an adorable Welsh?

  • @slapurmommaz Yes he is a Welsh Section A. He was previously used for showing in-hand and stud services, then his owners sent him to us to break to drive.
