Thanks Nanno! It was actually a bit of an anti-climax, but in the nicest possible way. I was anticipating shenanigans from Koby but he seemed far more comfortable with me in the cart than when I was walking behind, or in front of it. It's like he finally understood what we were doing and no longer wondering why his human and her friend were making him tow a funny contraption behind him. The cart also seemed to be better balanced with me in it. And you are right, he has already started to back off on the head tossing, although he still does it. I need to get the slow leak in one of the tyres fixed and organise a whip socket (which I will probably make), and then we'll really be on our way! I guess I can start mouthing him with the bit I bought (half spoon). I did have a bridle made but it's not going to be strong enough to drive him in, I can already see that. But I can use it to help get him accustomed to the bit. Thanks so much for all your help and advice, which I will continue to need!!!
