Oh happy, happy day!

So I've had my wagon for several weeks now. It's just an new experience, a new peasure to drive in. I believe the horses have the same upinion.
I've only been driving with one horse so far... but today was the day... the wirgin day.
My two good girls working togwether in front of the wagon. Martin came around and gave me a hand - making shure I did it all te rigth way. And wow, we did have fun!! The girls were behaving like they have been doing it many times before - no one coud tell that Rose only has been pulling 6-7 yimes before!
And one thing that pleaces me a lot. It seems like the girls really prefere to work togeter. Thinka is so much happier and doing it all witout any complaining when she's in company with Rose. And Rose is much more confident and calm, trusting her older friend.

Victor

It`s been a while since my last post here, so today I thought I`d post some new pics of Victor.
He has turned 2 years this summer and I`ve started preparing him for pulling the wagon.
He is a sweetheart and very easy going - always trying to do what I tell him :)
Not too clean because of the rain and mud we`ve had here the last month - summer is definatelly over! :(
But - anyway - here he is in his harness.....
Me and Victor - take a look at my beautiful "hat" tihihi.......

Mikal and I switched places - I`m behind the camera (as usual) and Mikal is in the photos (also as usual ;)


"Trying" the wagon.....
....high knee action to get over....
And finally in place!
Notice my cat behind the cart - he wants to be a part of the action, but it is a little scary!
It is safer to hide in the tractor hanger! :)
I think we`ll soon be ready to put the cart on, but I`m such a vimp.....
It IS a little traumatic putting the cart on for the first time hihihi... Hope you`ve enjoyed the photos!
