First pics of Bry in harness

[Bobbin]

The harness I borrowed isn't a suitable fit for driving but it's ok to play in and do all the groundwork for breaking in with. Bry was a star, the only thing she was a bit unsure of was the crupper (?) under her tail, but fair play, I wouldn't like a bit of leather shoved up my arse either.

S'cuse the muddy pony she was dragged in from the field wet.

As you can see in this pic, I had trouble keeping the reins where they should be and boy was steering hard.

She's looking good Bobbin.

I'm still struggling with the crupper too.

I will try her with the whip next time, will use a lunge whip for now. Maybe in a week or so I will put the bridle with the blinkers on. My YO has given me instructions on how to do various bit and pieces.

Looking good. Crupper often takes a bit of getting used to! Be prepared for spookiness as well when you first try blinkers, they can make them quite jumpy at first.
