Hope this is okay to post here, if not please delete. I’m doing some research for a piece I’m writing for my bookkeeping blog, hope it's okay to reach out to horse pros here. My background and interest is with driving horses and showing and I’m a bookkeeping/payroll professional by trade so I...

I recently learned that I have retinitis pigmentosa and have been declared legally blind, I can no longer drive. I'm considering a home based bookkeeping business for myself as I have 20 years of experience as a payroll specialist for a local community college and getting back and forth to work...

I have a B gelding who was shown in hand and driviNG extensively before I purchased him a little over a year ago. He is slightly over in one knee but has never shown any signs of soreness or lameness. My vet has palpated it but can't find any sensitivity with it. Any issues with this type of...

Anyone use the feed through fly controls for their minis? Does it work well and is it safe? I have a gelding who battles summer sores each year for the past few years and am fastidious in my fly control, manure management and worming protocols but I've read some articles that suggest products...

Anyone feed it to their minis and if so are you happy with it? Which one are you using and do you supplement with anything else? Thanks!

How do you get your halter horses in condition especially those that aren't driving horses? Type and frequency of exercise? Especially looking for input on how to develop a strong topline. Feeding tips?

Anyone own one and what type of driving do you use it for? Likes/dislikes? Thanks!

Did you opt for painted or stained wooden shafts for your Jerald show cart? Is there a preference for showing in breed shows or is it just personal preference? What looks best with many different colors of horses?

Having owned minis and shown a little for the past year I think I'd really like to try my hand at showing in halter at the breed level (we have more AMHA shows than AMHR in my area). I have two geldings, both experienced and successful show horses with their former owners who excel in driving...

I'm in the market for a new trailer and will be hauling two minis and a cart along with misc show equipment. Just priced out a custom mini Hawk trailer and loved it but the shipping out here to the west coast is astronomical. I'd be curious to see what other mini driving folks who show or do...

Does anyone own a Jerald easy entry cart and if so how do you like it? Can I get flatless tires for it easily? Any other pros/cons with it? Any input appreciated, thanks!

I have two mini geldings who share a large stall/turnout area and for the most part get along pretty well. The 10 year old gelding is the dominant horse and most times it just takes a pin of his ears to get the 4 year old gelding to move off the hay pile or away from the gate, etc...

I know this is a very broad based question but I need some help tailoring a feeding program for my miniature geldings especially during the wet winter months when they won't be getting worked as consistently. My big horses have always done well with twice daily feedings of good quality timothy...
