Driving the Draft Team and Single Draft, Billings, MT

This is a private instruction day, but we welcome auditors interested in learning more about hitching and driving a team and a single. There will be a team of Clydesdales and a single Percheron - but topics apply to any size equine!

I will be covering a wide range of topics with the two students, ranging from:

  • Ground driving

  • Harness adjustment / function

  • Hitching / adjustment - how do I know I am hooked correctly?

  • Understanding team line adjustment - fast horse / slow horse

  • Line and whip handling - the role of the outside and inside line and why we drive with a whip

  • Cueing verses pulling

  • Driving with forward motion and focusing on precision

  • Backing, fanning and docking

Cost for auditing is $35 / person / day

We will be at the White Aspen Ranch, 481 56th St. W, Billings, MT
