Hello glad the driving expedition when well.
Also the leaks in the plumbing are good in this case.
Bits as long as you size them right of any kind will work fine.
Thoughts: Use Zip Ties to attach to halter Rings, they even allow for some "Adjustment"
If you need to when you take the bridal off just cut the Zip Ties.
They are plenty strong enough to handle goat pressure on the bit.
Use the Black ones they are UV resistant, they do not degrade in sunlight. White ones do.
===========================
Here is another old trick I have used myself, use a tieback on the chargey side of the double tree to hold him back and make him work even with his team mate. Been there done that when one of my drafters would take the "Lead" and pull the whole load till he/she got tired and decided it was better to work in team and split the load.
A nose or two ahead of team mate is ok, no more than that though.
Hope the ideas help. Your doing Good.
==========================
Maybe when we both start driving teams of goats we should Collaborate on writing a Driving Goats Book.
Modern Version.
My team will be a Matching Pair of White Goats and you can have the Pair of Colored Goats Team.
Think: She'll be driving Six White Goats Coming Round the Mountain when She Comes.
A old song that Phil could Play on his fiddle
Yes, I know I am full of goat berries, but in among all of that is some good knowledge to pass on.
Happy Trails
Have a good drive
