Did the same again today.
It was Daisy's last day at home - back to school in Scotland and not home until October.
Charlot and his friend, Floyd, came into the school. Charlot was harnessed up, did a spot of long-reining the log and then wore the cart, ie Jo supporting the shafts rather than putting them in the tugs.
After a few circuits, as things were looking good, they put to and Daisy led Charlot quietly round the school doing a 20m circle, figure of eight and change of rein. Jo deliberately kept everything to the minimum, hand movements, no whip and very quiet driving.
Charlot was a good boy again, never a flicker. So we unharnessed him, fed him an oatcake (run out of apples or carrots) and put him back into his field.
Job well done.
Onwards and maybe upwards?
