Had a GREAT drive with Sputnik today! He was almost perfectly well-behaved the whole time, even when leaving Finn or going off on side routes. The whip stayed in the socket almost the entire time and he went almost completely from voice command, so I feel we're really starting to be ready for this chariot race.
Phil had a little harder time with Finn, but not too bad. Finn also is very out of shape and gets tired much faster than Sputnik. Sputnik is not in great shape either, but he's an athlete compared to Fatty Finn right now! I'm not sure how that happened. Finn is also not helped by his black back and hindquarters and gets hot quickly. Oh well. We really haven't been able to practice as much as we should have this summer, so it's no wonder our goats are overweight and easily tired. It finally stopped raining this week so maybe we can get in a few more rides before the big trip.
