Hours to Drive 2017

Ground drove Rowdy in town for 2 hours. I wonder if his feet are as tired as mine?

only half as tired cuz he has 4 vs your 2

Could I add 45 minutes of ground driving for Peanut?

It was 30 minutes on 3/21 and 15 minutes on 3/22.

Thank you.

50 minutes today for Rowdy. Ground driving. We went around the route where he used to freak. He looked closely at the place where the cows used to be but went on. Then almost home, he saw a neighbor lunging her horse. It was over a quarter mile away but he saw it. Ground driving, I kept him to his job but if we had been in a cart, it probably wouldn't have gone well.

He is giving to the bit much, much better and turning quite straight now. Transitioning well. He just needs to learn how to handle situations safely.

30 minutes for Dapper Dan. Max for him as he is out of condition.

40 minutes ground driving Rowdy today.

Thanks, Major Clementine!

I'm enjoying keeping track of everyone's hours. I am not currently separating ground driving and driving.... should I be??? I'm just totaling it all. I figure if you put the harness on and get to work it counts

Sounds good to me too. ☺Thank you for doing it for us!

Squeaks, if you are out there, are you going to log your hours with the new fella?

Jan: 4h

MajorClem can you add an hour for Peanut? Thanks!

I ground drove a half hour yesterday and drove a half hour today in the cart (Spring is Here!).

Are you getting to drive at all?

40 minutes for Dapper Dan, please. He was a ball of fire today. Feeling good!

drove Charlie 1 hour March 31, 1 hour April 2, and 1 hour April 6.

15 minutes of ground driving with Peanut today. It is hot out, every one is lazy.

I'm on the board!!! Ground drove both horses today. Major's first time

15m Major

40m Clementine

Can we see pictures of Major in his "work uniform" sometime? From the other tread it sounds like he was a good boy during his first outing!

I was planning on snapping a pic with my phone while I was down there but being as it was his first lesson ( and my first time doing a first lesson) I didn't quite get around to it. I'm hoping my hubby and son will come down to the barn with me this weekend and hopefully we'll get pics then.

He was a very good boy especially since it's a huge learning curve for me.

I ground drove Peanut for one half hour today. My feets are killing me!

Looking forward to the pictures if you get them.
