Driving Thursday Aside from the gorgeous horse and handsome driver, the significant part of this picture is the strap in the back. When going downhill, the breeching keeps the cart from running up on the horse. Saddlebred harness does not have this. They do not expect to be going up hill and down dale.

New Equipment: Bit & Pieces
Milton’s new driving bit, to replace the one borrowed from Coach Kate [With Great Bit Comes Great Responsibility] Shorter shanks and a gentler mouthpiece. More pants.

New Equipment: Rodney Tests The Vest
Vests for our CDE debut. Greg gets the short vest since he sits. I get the longer since I stand. Plus I might, someday, possibly, in a fantasy world, use it on cross-country.

Solo!
We have a driving horse. No training wheels. We hitched our horse, to our cart, by ourselves. Twice. No worries. We were cleared for this at Greg’s lesson last Saturday.
