This pair of Lipizzaner geldings had already been broken before being sent to us. Their owner wanted to use them for weddings and funerals etc, but they needed further schooling in order to bring them up to the standards required for commercial work. This film shows how they were to begin with (as well as being hard-mouthed, they were shying at road markings, traffic barriers, bridges and water, fidgeting when asked to stand still, not being happy using breeching - all things that commercial horses should have no issues with) and then as they progress through their training, showing them working together happily as a pair and gaining confidence in their work and their surroundings.

People often buy "ready-made" horses for commercial work - those that have been broken already or have worked in harness before - but as this video shows, it does not always mean they will be suitable for the intended job. Although this pair could be driven, and have no problem with simply being in harness, there are certain little problems that need working on before they could be trusted to work commercially on the roads and around members of the public.

These horses were not youngsters, and had plenty of driving "miles under their belts" but this did not mean that they were safe, confident and happy in harness. We needed to educate them further so that they became a better pair of horses all round.
