My 3 yr old mare has been recently backed. I don't really want to continue riding as she's 3 and 3 months. She's been turned away for the last month and looked very bored.
I've started with loose schooling and long reining again this week to give her something to do. She loves long reining, I am considering starting her to drive and have all equipment, help on offer (for a change!!).
Do you think that it will do her any harm to teach her to drive and will it effect her when I start again under saddle ?? I'd love to teach her and wouldn't put undue pressure on her, but will I be confusing her ??
Any advise most welcome !!
