Junge Pferde arbeiten sehr gut!

Zeke has grown. He was four months old here.



This is Zeke at 20 months old. Note the hands.



Today we hooked Zeke up to the false shafts. Saturday he stood tied to the fence while we worked Talon and Jasper so today he got to do the thing.



I was all sorts of awkward sliding those things on him, but he was awesome.



He also walked off with them like it was no deal. There may have been half a blink at the sound once, but not bad at all for his first time ever.

Saturday I pulled out Jasper, Talon, and Zeke and hooked up Jasper and Talon.



They long lined really well and started stepping off together.



We hooked them to the sledge and away we went! Jasper was a little grumpier with Talon pulling the sledge, but they both pulled well and stepped off even more in sync. Now we just need to repeat this 50 or 100 times. Tristan joined me on the sledge too for a bit. We need to measure Jasper and get him a driving bridle so he can stop giving Talon grumpy faces and focus on his job.

I need to sit down and scan things, but have some crummy phone photos of some recent sketchings.

I'm enjoying this small watercolor thing.

Two posts in one day I must not be working.
