Well Tush is a youngin.. just drive her with the halter and a suringle, 
nothing fancy. Getting her used to steering although I will drive her even 
after I saddle her.

This I don't know.. I really don't have a lot of time in driving.

Doesn't matter.. the age is a little advanced.

This is only one of many things that can go wrong during breeding, and the 
reason it took me three years to finally get aroudn to it. Loosing a mare to 
breeding is not that uncommon. In fact at the barn where I keep CJ and her 
baby (Tush) we had 4 mares bred the same year.. three died of varying causes.

Always a nice addition.. I think driving is neat.
