Oscar drives

Tuesday night, Torey Brooks wanted to do something different in her lesson. She asked to ride Oscar. Then we came up with the idea to test what Miki and Gabe have thought for months. Lets see if he drives. We tried the Dolly harness but there were too many pieces missing and it wouldnt work. So, Gabe said, "Let's try Bailey's old harness." With much hole punching and adjusting we got it to "kindof" fit. Oscar stood like a champ as we punched and pulled. He was having so much fun with all the attention he kept licking Gabes pants. Finally we got him somewhat set up and Miki long lined him around the ring. He was awesome. When she told him to trot, the little guy got right at it, when she told him to walk, he got right at that. Next, Torey and Erin pulled the cart after him, no reaction. So the next time around they held the shafts in the keepers and Gabe headed him up. "What is with these people?" Oscar seemed to ask. It is obvious that this little guy not only knows how to drive, but loves it. We did not however put the traces on so we don't know how he will react to the pulling of a human. But we have made a start, and Oscar I am sure will be a project for the campers and will be driving to Moultons very soon!
