Harness Goat Handout

[Nanno]

I'm made a handout for the harness goat class I'm teaching at the WCGE this weekend. I'd appreciate if y'all could look it over and see if there are any glaring mistakes, omissions, or unnecessary details. There are so many unfamiliar terms with driving, and so many parts to mix up that I want to make sure people have info to take home with them. I tried to cover the most important and confusing harness parts, and I also tried to cover the most commonly asked questions I see. I also addressed the most common problem areas I see in people's hitches (downhill shafts, pulling by the saddle, no saddle pad on 2-wheeled carts, no whiffletree, etc.). If I missed any common problems let me know! I have over an hour to talk about all these things, so terms like "thimbles" will be briefly explained.
