i spent 27yr involed in heavy horse breds
i become member spent time with my papa clients when we were their showing horses i would ask.advice and listen very carfuly.after the horses were shoed the clients would get me to.walk and trot horses up and down tell me how to handle and what judge looks for i than went in to young handlers i would handle all ages of heavy horse then got intrested in driving again spending time with diff breeds and going to bred shows all round uk.ireland
i got my own horses but still worked for diff people i turned pro handler and groom
best advice i can give is ask advice .listen and watch as much showing as u can also try and handle diff breds of gundog
i have been showing gundog bred for 5yrs as i had to give up working with.heavys
