Capturing the shoulders of a driving horse is very important. You want to be able to move your mini laterally both directions. This is shown at the start of this video. The more flexible a horse is in those 10 inches behind the poll, the more that horse is going to use its hindend.
Having control of the shoulders also allows me to put a horse back on the rail easily. When driving, if my horse drifts towards the middle of the arena, I can pick up the shoulders and move them to the outside. Love this!
