Kelhan lernt fahren
Yesterday we hooked up Kitt again, this time with the shafts rotated upside down. I'm sure there is some driver out there who might have a coronary about that, but the enclosed shafts let us cheat like that. It put the cart level and I could actually put the shaft loops on the backband rings rather than my usual jury-rigging with carabiners *cough.*
Tristan lost interest by the time we were hooked up, but Kelhan climbed up next to me and we drove around the arena. I asked him if he wanted to drive so he sat in front of me and got to take the lines (with me holding behind his hands). He had fun steering and stopping her. We need to take her someplace bigger so he can take control a little more.
Nice and level now! It's pretty nice being that high up, especially after spending so much time driving the forecart which is really low.
Look at those little eager hands on the lines and happy face! I think I'm going to have a pretty good driving buddy. Chris said we have another rein hog in the family ... wonder who he could be talking about ...
Chris got to climb up with us and drive a bit as well. He was quite happy and rather liked the cart.
I do think I will have Magma engineer a set of shafts that are flat and angle in so that we can be respectable.
