In late 2008 a whole new era dawned for our wonderful old man, driving. The main reason is quite
simple, Holly has a lot of problems balancing because of her injuries, and Sue and I are finding it
harder to get into the saddle - old age setting in.
First experiments with driving took place around Christmas, 2008. We used an old (ancient) harness
that was originally used for working horses - hence the neck collar and chains. Some of the pics we
took on 29 December are on this page.

| The pics below were taken on 12 January 2009 - Dale and me playing with our guy. |
| First time in a harness. This is NOT a happy horse |
| Walking around for the first time with Susan leading our boy |
| Banjo and Cherokee, watching what's going on |
| Doc and Susan get their turn too. Dave's leading, no rope. |
| Hey! Here's me with our guy. Max is getting used to this stuff and the lead rope has been removed again. |
| Dale's first ride. Lead rope is back on, to help Max with actually pulling a load. |
| More practice, with Susan leading our boy. Notice that the lead rope has been removed. |
| Dave and Max, just out for a stroll. Blue & Banjo are watching in the round-pen. |
