Hello, A friend of mine told me the other day if I got a collar to fit I'd never go back to a breast collar, even the wonderful freedom collar I have. She's quite knowledgable and so I'm going to try to put as much time and money as I can into exploring this option. Up til now I haven't paid...

Hi Everyone, Just thought I'd share some pictures of my boy, he's out of shape and been out of work since winter. Been getting back to just having fun with some new found free time after getting my hours cut at work. If you click this you should be able to see them, Pictures Any critism is...

Hi Guys, I haven't posted in a while, but I thought I'd share this because maybe it will be a wake up call as it has been for me. On April 12th my friend and I were in a pretty serious car accident. We knew it was bad, but after going back yesturday and looking at it again, we didn't know how...

Hi guys, just thought I'd post some picture I took when I was out on a walk the other day with my gelding Banner. Banner, tied to a tree while I went down to the edge of the ice to get the picture below. Snow covered tracks on the ice. (: A handsome snow pony indeed. (: A leaf...

Here's some video I got of 'the boys' when I turned them out after being kept in more than usual because of the rain.

Hello! I decided I wanted a dog to keep me company up at the barn where I train, and so I looked around and found Corgi Puppies for sale, oh my are they trouble. (: Meet Trace (like the piece of harness.), a 12 week old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. I just wanted to share him with you all.

Hi Guys, I thought that I'd share some pictures from Banner and my first show. On Aug. 8th we attended a Continuous Drive, which is so great that you get to do so much and then have enough time to get home. It is a great format. Banner was very good, though in the beginning he did not like the...

Hi guys, Dealing with an interesting scenario these days with my gelding, Banner. It seems that lately there is very little to improve on with him other than furthering his dressage work which I need to switch up constantly as he can only try for so long until he gets frustrated. For example...

Hi guys, Just was cleaning my harness up really good (clinic sunday! ) And through my 5 years or so of cleaning harnesses I've come up with three that I would recommend. Just wondering about everyone else's experiences. So, in this order, here's my list Skidmore's Leather Cream Leather CPR...

Well it's been a little while since I've posted, though I've been lurking around a bit. Here's some pictures I've taken lately... as well as pictures of a new guy I picked up at a local sale. (: Starting off with a neat old barn, An interesting view of a lady bug on Banner's tail. Another...

Well for anyone interested here's my set up for when I'm sledding with the mini's. This is a 4' ice fishing/wood hauling sled. The towels are for me to kneel or sit on. This is the front of the sled. I tied the single tree to the sled like this. I also use this sled for other things, which...

Hello guys, I've been trimming quite a lot of feet lately and I just thought I'd post some of my geldings that I just did. His feet are by far the hardest I do. There is really not much that makes them difficult but for some reason they drive me nuts. I'm still working on correcting some...

Hello, First off I know there are no magic bits. (: But I am curious if you wanted to add what bits work for you about the horse they work well on. I am especially interested in mylers, but welcome anyone's experiences. As for me I started my gelding in a D ring stainless steel single joint...

Hi everyone, I got this idea from Myrna (RhineStone) on the current kicking strap post. I thought it would be interesting to post whatever pictures we have that help show how the horse moves/carries himself/etc, and then say ourselves what we are doing as far as schooling/training, and our...

Hi guys! Today my Mom came and took pictures of Banner & I sledding, and I got to take my little brother for a ride too. Then I got my Mom to give it a go!!! Here's some pictures from today, and I'm pretty impressed with how they came out, enjoy! My Brother, Banner, & I bee-boppin around...

Hi guys, I have a few questions about the hyperbike, as my new frontier cart is not holding up to me & Banner. ): Can you use it in the dressage/cones portion of CDE's? Can you use it for working on dressage, just working at home? (I thought Leia said something about not liking it for that..?)...

Having an in-house photographer has its perks ALthough on occasion she catches me in some not so glamorous poses- for example, the jaunty tilt of the helmet in her most recent post (Bannerbrat-Driving Critique), LOL- she didnt mention how I was getting ready to leave when she wanted me to try...

Hi guys, I'd like to get some outside opinions on how my driving gelding Banner is coming along, overall I'm pretty happy with our progress. I figure there might be some things brought up that I might be 'blind' to. Some outside info, Banner's about 37/38" & is around 6years old. (not sure.) I...

Hi all, I've thought about this for a few days & finally decided to post about a book I just finished reading called True Horsemanship Through Feel - Bill Dorrance. It does take a little bit of figuring out what exactly he means while he's explaining some parts, but I think this would be a...

Hi all, haven't been on much but I figured I'd share some recent pictures that my Mom & I have gotten of Banner. Here's some pictures from two nights ago driving, my Dad put loops at the end of my cart so I could move Banner out of the shafts more as they fit kindof tight on him before...
