As a Quarter Horse owner who has ridden primarily in "english" disciplines since my teens,I can really relate,especially now,as my husband is campaigning my Quarter Horse in open driving shows. We are going in the ring against the "traditional" driving breeds like Morgans,Hackneys and Dutch Harness Horses. I am proud to say that we have opened a lot of eyes to the fact that Quarter Horses are very capable and talented in harness. In American Driving Society shows,horses must show three very distinct types of trot,(slow,working and strong),back quietly and willingly and perform various tests,along with competing in cones and obstacle classes. I would very much like to see the kind of joint effort and interest on the part of the AQHA and the ADS that has been demonstrated by the AQHA and the USDF! Several other breed organizations are doing just that and I have been in contact with the AQHA and the ADS to encourage them to follow suit.I hope anyone else out there who drives their Quarter Horse will do so as well!
