First Team Outing!
#17
Hello Nanno and Downunder Gal
To Nanno
When I was training both light horses and draft horses, they learned the Basic commands Walk on, Trot.
Easy(slow down)
Whoe on the lunge line. I don't think you can teach a goat on a lunge line/long line????? Sad
Any way then is when I let a horse start wearing a bit while being lunged. Once they are comfortable mouthing the bit.
It is time to add the surcingle and long lines and ground drive.
Next step Harness and Lunge/ground drive some more.
Next step you need a assistant for "Teaching" the horse to "Pull"
add some length to the tugs so your assistant is out of kicking range. A couple pieces of rope will do.
The basic idea is you have your helper slowly tries to hold the horse back the horse leans into the harness and learn to pull.
Much more detail to training a horse to drive but I will save that for else were. This is for goat Goat Driving after all.
==========================================================

You show Goats Right?
So you train them with a set of handling commands.
That is what my lunge line training dose with horses. Well halter training to.
You using your boy's to drag/skid/stone boat water around last winter was the trick to getting them to pull good. Smile
Granted you were leading them and they were  working single but it was a perfect way to start them each.
I have always started my driving horses as singles, then when they were going good "Teamed them Up"
You just did that in effect, and the results are as you see. Keep making them drag that water around Smile
When you were here you should have picked up 1 of the blue 15 gallon barrels you saw here that I use for feed storage and many other things. They would make good water haulers strapped down on a sled.

   

Not Goats but lots of power and fun in the snow.

Happy Trails
Keep Pulling
