i remember the first time i had my horse hitched to a sled; he always just lunged forward and stopped, lunges forward and stopped. but after a while, he would move at a steady trot. i hope that horse did well

@zh11147 Thanks for comment-- this horse did great, he is seasoned and driven by an expert driver.

I´d love to make a sleigh ride with my haflinger. Sadly I don´t have a sleigh but the last couple of years we DO have snow (now and then). I'll keep dreaming.
