Great notes. I'm all for working horses on the ground too. If it's done correctly. So many people just put a horse on the lunge and chase them around. There's a real art to training a horse from the ground and the human can learn so much from it too.
With driving there is a lot to be said about long line work, sans the cart. I'm finding I can fix a lot of my riding problems this way too. It's a good way to let the horse sort things out, without us getting in their way.
