A lady I met at a parade brought her Downs daughter out to drive horses. We rode in the cart at first and she took turns driving with me; Rowdy was in harness. I wasn't comfortable with her driving in the cart by herself with Rowdy, but I felt she could do well in the sulky with Dapper Dan. At first she was afraid to get into the sulky, but once situated she got her confidence. I stayed close by, but she did fine by herself. She was a delightful lady. They would have taken Dapper Dan home with them in a minute, but I would never part with him.
Dapper Dan now has arthritis and bone spurs, so I don't let him work too hard any more. The light sulky with one adult is a good haul for him. It keeps him in condition and he can still do what he enjoys.
We will all go driving again, I'm sure!
