Contemplating a new venture for mr pig!

He is loving his work so much and getting bored, I am contemplating starting him to drive in a fashion.

It would be massively helpful with our current set up to be more easily able to move water etc so would love to "drive" him for doing this. I have no intentions of carts/roads/people it's more of an entertainment/stimulating task to add To his "jobs".

So my question mostly runs around harnessing - you obviously get what you pay for in harnesses, but apending £200+ to pull the odd bale of hay about seems a bit much - however I also want to make sure if we dothis that he isn't put at risk - I was sort of modelling on an idea similar to libbyos pallet set up - rather like a sledge.

If there isn't a lower cost option that is safe, we won't do it it's no loss - just something else to stimulate him as he is thriving on learning new things and picking up stuff quickly.
