| Okay the weather was pretty decent the other day so we decided to hook the oldest mare. Please don't mind the mane. It kills me every time I look at these pictures but it's all gone now. Her grooming is up to my standards. No way was I going to be brave like Joan and braid each time. . . Clippers are my friend! Molly walked off like a pro. of course she was just on long reins, totally loving the fact that she had a job. The bits were a little much so I'm going to change those. All either of them need is just basic snaffles. At this rate we will be wagon bound by the middle of the summer I think. Hahaha well that may be wishful thinking. I need to make a few minor adjustments and try a 23" collar on her cause the 24 is just a tad too big. I didn't get any photos of Jenny in harness (My bad). Diva Locks... Have to shorten some.. My brother taking a turn! | |

| Great pic's Mountaincowgirl,she looks good in harness,I agree with you bout using snaffle bit.The bits on harness i think look harsh,don't know if they are hard on the mouth,just think snaffle bit would look better,the other one looks like a charm bracelet,if you know what i mean. As for the Diva look she's got a Beyonce thing going on there.He,he. | |

| The bits are really not harsh unless they are hooked down (in the little ring). Where I have them hooked they are just basically a straight bit (with two mouth pieces). But they are thin so a snaffle will be way better for basic work. | |

| Adorable! Great pictures, I have always wanted to try driving Teeka, but I figure she'd freak out at the big scary monster following her. | |
