New driving pair at 1:00 startled by tiny barking dogs, takes off for a short gallop before slowing down again under driver's control. Sorry for camera-shake, I was grabbing one rein to help stop them!

Young Arabian-Percheron full brothers, self-trained. We pass 2 Icelandic horses at beginning. Carriage driving in Acadia National Park, Maine. Step-by-step pairs training, groundwork to hitching at: http://portraitswithhorses.com/blog/?p=1305

  • how big are they?

  • @HorseCrazieGirl15  16 hands, half draft (Percheron) and half Arabian.

  • LOL! I have one who would eat those dogs for lunch, but heaven forbid a plastic sandwich bag blow across his path...

  • @stbdhead I know the feeling. One of ours HATED the foam along the edge of the ocean, when the wind was blowing little piles of it and making it move!

  • @phantomcolt HA HA!! What is the most rewarding ever is training and driving 2 horses which you bred and raised since birth!! We bred these guys to do what we are doing with them-- and got lucky!

  • @horsepaintings Horse's are scared of 2 things: 1) Things that move and 2) Things that don't. Haha but good job handling the spook. My boy used to spook at ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. So rewarding though when you know you're the one who brough them past it.

  • @LifeIsDeceiving That instinct kept them alive since prehistoric times!

  • @horsepaintings Oh my horse is petrified of those darn killer llamas! He had the llamas fence, a road and another fence between him and the attack llamas but was still scared :P Funny what they see is scary, just goes to show after years of domesticating you can't take their natural instincts away :)!

  • @PaulieDavis Horses can get nervous about all kinds of things... and their instinct is to run away.

  • @tulsaluva1  They do have a section of trails where bicycles are not allowed-- we love them!
