It's been a good three weeks since we've driven our team, so we took them out for a bit of exercise today. They were very good boys!
And we had a little squirt with us! Pedro came along to keep us company and see what working goats are all about. He loved trotting alongside the wagon and only once got in the way when some barking dogs spooked him.
Phil and I took turns at the reins, and I'm happy to say that the boys listen to both of us equally well.
A nice break in the shade.
We went past the scary dogs near the end of our drive. I wasn't sure how they would be since we haven't been this way to practice in quite a while. The boys stopped for a moment and Phil walked ahead for a short way to help get them going, but as we approached the dogs I asked him to quietly drop back and see if the boys would go ahead. They walked right past like troopers and set a great example for Pedro. Needless to say, cookies were dispensed after this show of bravery, and I walked behind the cart for the rest of the drive.
