(23,272 posts)We just go to recognized competitions. My husband has driven horses in the annual Circus Parade in Baraboo WI. He's a freak in that he's an FEI level rider/trainer who also loves the drafts. He was trained to drive by some of the local guys who recognized a kindred spirit regardless of the fancy breeches
As pros in the industry I don't care if they're biters. One of my husband's advanced Horse trials horses is a terrible biter. Groomed and tacked on cross ties only or you'd be bit. Worse bite I've ever gotten was from him. Years later I bear that raised flesh.... A royal shit. Cold backed too. Fun fun. He loved peppermints though. Would stop all his nonsense when the starlight mint wrapper crinkled...then it was all ears, all pointy nose...
Horses are your family, or mine at least. Their quirks and needs as intimate as my children's.
Thanks for sharing and sorry for the initial prickly response.
