Driving young horse through scary neighborhood

Young Arabian-percheron in driving training hesitates to pass a pond, then stops to check out nearby horses. After his brother goes in front he feels more confident and picks up speed, even passing a tepee! Not quite 3 years old, typical green horse behavior; he is put to a Meadowbrook cart.

@b0z123 Your right people shouldent just assume things like that,but what the heck do you mean by stupid posh gits with thoroughbreds and twelve different rugs who bring their horses in at night.

1. I have 4 thoroughbreds... does that make me a posh git?

2. Why do you think thoroughbreds are snobby?

3. Whats wrong with taking your horse in at night?

4. What's wrong with your horse having 12 rugs

5. What do you mean by a PROPER welsh section D (Whats an improper horse?)

My point proved

[dqbayeventer]

ive always wanted to drive it looks so fun

[b0z123]

i hate it when people presume that all driving horses are abused.

there are just as many riding horses abused as driving horses every1 just presumes cuz some are that all are.

its just stupid bloody posh gits on there snobby little thoroughbreds that need 12 different rugs n cnt handle being out 4 a nite. GIVE ME A PROPER WELSH SECTION D ANY DAY OF THE WEEK :p
