I would love to go to Pennsylvania or Vermont to ride on that one day in the winter.

I have quite a bit of space between his hind end and me, the driver. I have added ropes to the reins to extend them. I use my feet for brakes, but not a lot of braking is needed . You have to be slower and more careful going down hills. Also the horse has to be trained to drive in the normal stages and progression so he is not afraid. Nugget wouldn't even kick if something does touch his hind legs. I have seen shafts fastened to such sleds, but that would have less of a" free and easy" feel.

What if Nugget stops? What keeps the sled from hitting his hind end? I always thought that'd be fun to try at home... until it's not. Is there a trick to doing it without terrorizing my horses? I have a toboggan that'd work well for that, but it doesn't have any brakes.

If you do a search on YouTube using "elsejohnmolly" you can see 3 or four of our horses pulling the sled from different perspectives.

What is that wooden thing you have attached to the breeching? It seems like that works well. Where did you get it?
Novice driver here, so if it's some very obvious part of a cart or something, sorry ;) I don't know parts of a harness, etc, well yet.

@RidingDaisy The traces carry (pull) the load.. Attached to the traces is a singletree. Those are used in pulling logs, plow, cultivator, ect. to keep the traces spread so they don't rub on the horse's hocks.. You can search the web or get a catalog from an Amish harness shop to find such equipment.or go to a carriage or equipment auction.
