The new longer britchen strap arrived the other day. Today I had time and good weather and I hitched up Lacey for the first time in a week or so.
Lacey now has a good relaxed walk - she walks about 50% of the time and usually stops or slows down on finger squeezes like she used to. I did learn a lot from the training blip! More than if it hadn't happened.
She still does not like traffic - we encountered 2 ATVs today and she had a little snit fit over them. She did ok at the two fairs, being exposed to so many vehicles and activity.
Anyways! I can see the sliding backband adjusting for when the cart is tilted. That's pretty cool.
I need to take the singletree off the top and refasten it to the bottom of the shafts. The line of the shafts is actually crossing the line of the traces - probably not so good! I also need to refresh my memory on how to tie the hold backs now that the britchen is ample.
When leaning back a bit in the cart, I can see the shafts pretty much float in the tug loops. This doesn't work so well when driving in the bumpy field.
I inquired and got permission to take her to the fairgrounds to use their stonedust track - they said they are keeping it open for "light recreational use". Hoping to go tomorrow afternoon, maybe!
I'm hoping to get a video of us travelling on the track, to see how we are doing.
