Driving horses being ridden
Interesting demo class. Driving horses put under saddle and ridden at walk and trot. Tack is dressage saddle but driving bridle. Crowd encouraged to cheer for their favorite. Translator says this is Dutch version of saddle seat. These horses want to GO. Will post short video soon. Heinse son won:)
