Looks good and I have a wagon just like that, It has my 35 gallon weed spray rig on it.
Notes:
#1 First Picture: From the looks on the ground under the off side goat he had a power steering fluid leak.It Happens
#2 Training in teams with horses from my experience is always easier. The Amish that I knew at home would always have what they called a breaking horse (Mature well mannered Gelding) to hook with a young horse when starting in harness)
I would expect the same would apply to the goat boys. 2 is better than one !!!!
Also from MY horse back ground always hook your goats in the same place when you team them. It is just like when trailing them they will get used to their place in the hitch and expect to be put there.
#3 I noticed you had the breast collars raise up higher.Good !!!
#4 If that wagon is like mine be careful how sharp you tun it with load on, I have tipped mine over with a full spray tank on it pulling it with my garden tractor. 35 Gallon's X10.5 pounds per gallon close to 400 pounds.
#5 Granted this was your first real test run, suggestion move your seat so you can sit higher to see ahead of the rig better. Like bolt a 2X10 on the top of the side gates, pick a spot right over were the pins go through the connectors.
#6 Question ??? How fast did you get going??? were the boys working equally/with each other??

Do you want me to Drop by the Harness Shop, Show some of the driving pictures and see if Jack can order some small bits? I know he will get a kick out of driving a team of goats with equipment you bought there.
Jack is a "OLD" Carriage Driver, driving equipment for commercial carriage services for years.
Maybe we can get him into the idea of equipment supply for driving Goats.
YOU could be the Person to start a Goat Driving Trend.
I may give you some " driving competition" in a few years.
I'll have a team of "Matched Pure White Goats to hook." :
Happy Trails
Good Driving
