A big day for my wife yesterday. She's been working with our (her) two belgians for several months now, slowly getting them ready, and slowly accumulating the proper harness equipment - and a fore cart, and slowly getting herself mentally prepared.
she finally hitched them yesterday for the first time.
I give her a lot of credit. Working with those big horses looks easy from the sidelines - but when you're right up close and personal, it takes a lot of determination, and a lot of guts!
She drove them around in circles for a bit, then took them out on the road.
She did all this while I failed with the camera. All the pictures came out blurred. But - still I've gotta post something because I'm really proud of her.
