Your Rocky boy has all growed up and matured. Good luck for next year when he will know the ropes and should do even better.

Thank you ;D
He is really developing into an amazing driving horse and doing me ever so proud. My dad got the brown harness made for him going to Towerlands and I think it just sets the turnout of nicely next year we are hoping to be showing Rocky in the Beaufort cart - pictured - and also either a stick back or round back depends which one is ready in time ;D

Verrrrry niiiice.
Scuse my ignorance but the second set of stays to the dropper - what are they called? I cannot say that I have seen many of them, and those that I have have been on American stuff.

It's classed as a faceplate it's purpose is to keep the bit correctly placed in the horses mouth and also keeps the drop in place we like to be different ;D the harness that Rocky is wearing my dad had made specially for him by a local harness maker it's copied from an old English set of harness my dad has ;D

Rocky looks absolutely great and what lovely photos! What is his breeding?
I have brown leather harness for Rebel and people always comment favourably on it. However, we have a breast collar instead of a full collar.
Good luck in the new year and look forward to seeing pictures and hearing results.
