We've hitched up Tiffany three times in the last week, and she's been really good. No balking or hissy fits-when she's with the cart, it's all business. She's a little hot to trot starting out, but after a few minutes of trotting figure eights and serpentines, she settles down into a nice, relaxed walk.
Our neighbor came over to help the first two drives I took her out, but Sunday marked a huge milestone for us: Will and I hooked up Tiffany all by ourselves (and it was Will's first time assisting)! It took us a long time because I wanted to be sure everything was snapped, buckled, and hooked up correctly, and we ended up having a lovely drive. Will was great-he stayed around to watch our drive (just in case), and then helped me get her back into the cross ties and unhitched. He even led her back to the field-his first time ever leading horse!
