[Ag-eq] horse training

My cart is a very simple, Easy Entry, two seater.  It uses two big bicycle
tires.  The blinders are recommended gear to keep the horses from getting
distracted.  They are side blinders.  I guess they work OK but my pony loves
to look around.  My trainer commented that this is very common among Hackney
ponies.  My husband nicknamed her the tourist.

Liz:

What kind of cart do you use for the pony and why do you use blinders?

I don't think I have the desire or courage to drive!
