From the first weekend I drove Best until the next time I saw him was about 10 days. While I was making arrangements to board Best in Pittsburgh, the rest of the family was getting ready for our trip to the Kentucky Horse Park for the Carriage Round-up. We greatly enjoy the Carriage Round-up and try to attend every year but we skipped last year because Draken was going to WEG. It was a busy week for everyone.
I ordered a new Zilco harness with Empathy 3 collar for Best from Advanced Equine Products and they rushed it to me so I would have it in time to go to KY. I found a place for Best only 30 mins from where I live (which sounds like a lot but believe me when I say it's hard to find a place that will take a driving horse in the Pittsburgh area). It all came together though in time for KY.
Above is a clip of "Best" appearing in the KYHP's Parade of Breeds during the Carriage Round-up. This is actually his second appearance there, he also appeared the day before. In both cases he did fabulous. I just kept him walking before it was time to go into the ring, presented him and then kept him walking afterwards. When we were invited back into the ring for pictures he stood well on the second day after he learned that people would come and pet him if he did. He might be a 'ham' in the making because he was definately sucking that up.
