Yippee! Smokey and I had our first drive on Tuesday.

Claire and I got him set up then she drove him first, being much more experienced than me. Then I had a turn. It wasn't what I expected - it was much bumpier for one thing although that might be due in part to the surface. Smokey was so good. We stayed in walk and in the arena, but he was so cool. The surface is quite deep and wet, so I think it must be quite hard to pull.

After we finished, Smokey took the gig back to the shed, along the road and it was obviously much easier for him.

Since Smokey didn't look like he was going to explode, Claire had time to take a short video of the big event!
