  • What kind of horses or ponies are typically used for this sport. This guy has alot of knee action.

  • Hi @Lugimoo

    Paul's horse in this movie is a Welsh Section D called Jimmy, which he trained and competed with for about 3 years.

    He is now bringing on a pair of young Hackney horses (another popular British breed for driving trials) but not yet competing with them.

  • I have watched this a number of times, and all I can say is 'what a team', Jimmy is looking forward, but listening at the same time, to any disenters, just watch the horses ears. This is a good strong man/horse relationship built on many hours of training and trust. Very well done.

  • Well spotted Sue - Jimmy is totally tuned in to paul and you're right - they spend many many hours in training. Paul actually 'rescued' Jimmy from an owner for whom Jimmy was 'too head strong'

  • He's not aggressive - that suggests some level of cruelty. He's assertive - his horse Jimmy knows who is "leader of the pack".

    To see more examples of top level british carriage driving key in "tonycolzi" into You Tube search there are a number of other videos. Have a look at George Bowman and Pippa Bassett driving teams of 4

  • Well said Sue...that horse is happy and relaxed in his job...is not at all being abused.

    and to think he started by driving a donkey in a cart made of bicycle parts!

  • @tonycolzi Thanks for the info ^^

  • I disapprove of animals being harried merely for someone's entertainment. I don't even scold my cat!

  • How would they transport that horse and carriage to Poland?! What expense! Invest the money in some impoverished children - maybe you'd even feel better about yourself for it!
