Pair driving pics from Chocorua NH
As promised, here are PIX from Glen and Gilford’s first outing driving together as a pair (see previous post Pairs carriage driving in Chocorus NH for videos.) This was on a weekend trip where we camped two overnights and drove three different days.
Gilford and Glen in their horsecamp
Trotting out on Day 1, giving sort of a visual sense of their motion… 
This is their third hitch together, the first two hitches being under supervision of the instructor at the Carriage Barn in Newton, NH.
Laurie G. harnesses her pony Sophie, while Sonja C. assists. Both gals are members of Granite State Carriage Assoc. Sophie is the little lady that Glen was smitten with during the weekend.
More Granite Staters harnessing up, daughter Taryn and mom Pat P.
Taryn and Pat pose for pix before their driveout, their snappy Appy-Arab mare in front.
Another driver, Ginger L., got many compliments on her restored antique wagon, here put to her Canadian gelding.
I’m making an attempt to keep Glen’s mane all on one side of his neck!
Putting on Glen’s hoofboots in front– Easycare Boas.
then comes the harness
Dad and I going out on Day 2 with the boys
Several of us line up for Sonja’s portrait, this one planned for the cover of GSCA’s 30th Anniversary Album, which I was finishing the design of.
Sonja got pix of us coming and going
The second night we had a tailgate pizza party, after which Dad and I rushed off to a concert in Wolfeboro!
The last day there was no escaping the drizzle– Glen’s back is pretty wet already…
but they were willing to go wherever we pointed them, even over wet slippery bridges!
Such handsome boys!! (well, WE think so– like our second set of children!)
