This is the first-time driving Cinder, Lord willing, my future garden tiller. She is 14 months old. Notice I have the lines attached to her halter, no bridle, no bit. This is what we should strive for when starting a young colt; keep them calm. Notice her eyes are about half closed. She is acting as if I have worn her out tired, when in fact we had just started; maybe been in harness for five minutes.
