Hello Nanno
Good Job getting your boys hooked.
Now for my opinion:
I would prefere de-horned goats for driving.
I have seen how many ways a horse team even well trained can mess up/tangle the driving lines.
Then add in the horns of goats like yours I can just see driving lines getting all tangled up.
You need some support lines from the breast collars were you are hooking the neck yolk to the pole to transfer the pole load to the saddle as well the neck yolk is with the britchen is your braking system.
Over all you are breaking new ground in the modern goat world here in the USA. Congratulations
Enjoy these old Goat Driving Pictures.
BTY: You want me to see if my carriage(Jack) friend can get a couple 3.5 inch snaffle bits and the price?
Here is one other idea , See if you can find a custom bit maker for the exact size you need. YA $$ but worth it.
=================================
Old Goat Team 1, The Barrels are water barrels they used goat teams to haul the water.
There is a interesting story with this picture the man is leg less due to amputation from war injuries.
Here you go 6 goat power BTY: That is a Singer Harness Sewing machine in the wagon. Mobile Harness Maker.
Post some side views of your RIG and what are you using for wagon?
I have to put the AC into the Red Neck Goat Shed today 90+ and no breeze down were we are at.
Fans are all they get.
Happy Trails
Good Driving, Pete and Sam have something else to worry about now,. Driving
