I believe a lot of it stems from the fact that they have little patience. Midas for one does not like to stand still for very long. I took him to his first show this past weekend and we placed 4th out of 10 horses in reinsmanship driving. We didn't place in the pleasure class but when it came...

I ride dressage and decided to try driving with my mini. So I understand the whole conservative issue. This is my first year driving and I have chosen a black jacket with some contrasting black satin strips (very small stripes) that has satin trim at the lapels and sleeves with a gold/tan...

If the weather is in the 50's during the day and the sun is warm when you turn them out then take the blankets off. I have my mini clipped and he wears his winter blanket at night since it gets down in the 30's. When he is turned out during the day and it is in the high 50's low 60's, I take...

Here is the history, I bought my first mini in November and have fallen in love with his big horse attitude in a small horse body. He was PA 4H State Champion Miniature Yearling Gelding in 2007. I really lucked into this guy. He is now at the trainers learning how to drive. (Of course so am...
