New Harness

Ooooooooooooo! I am so excited!

Last week I traded one of my pony harnesses for a horse sized harness that fits my mare.

Yesterday, I took her over to a friends(who knows WAY more about driving than I do) & we harnessed her up & adjusted everything to fit her. My friend pointed out a few straps & buckles that were missing off of my harness--easy fixes.

We ground drove my mare for about an hour. She taught me some neat tricks to tune up both the mare & my driving skills.

Today, the local wheelwright came over to look at my little wagon. He gave me an estimate for making new shafts.....you ready?

$200!!!!

That's all! I was so afraid it would be way more than that & I would never get them made. He's also going to do the fixes to my harness.

He's a busy guy so I have to wait in line  but I am just so excited to be moving forward on all of this!

In July the local driving club is having a wagon train-camp out. I am so hoping everything will be all set & ready way before that & we can go. That just sounds so fun to me.

We also have a local parade in July that I want to drive in this year.

I have been waiting & wanting to do these things for so long & I am so excited!

Did I say that?

Blessings.
