We're Driiiiiiiiiiiiving!

I have no idea why it's taken us this long, but today was the first day we actually got Gideon hooked up to the forecart and GOING. He was pretty wonderful about the whole thing - his usual unflappable self. I'm going to try to remember this day the next time he decides to cool off his dinner-plate-sized feet in the water trough or flings his semi-tire feeders around for me to fetch and return to their place.

It went great! We had to make some adjustments on the fly - the shafts (which go on either side of him) were protruding out too far at first, so he was banging his face on them when I turned him, which made him very unhappy. I figured out how to fix that by adjusting the harness.

Owain was thrilled - he has been climbing all over the forecart since we got it last summer, so he was happy to be along for the ride!

you look like a modern day calamity jane, fighting injustice in the wild west.... or riding around your farm in wisconsin. i see parallels nonetheless.
