    Driving Hours 2018

    Zorro has another 2 hours of long lining and Sky has 35 minutes of long lining as well! I'm hoping to get out in the sled a bit today!! We have enough snow and the sun is shining

    Your Drive Day

    Zorro, my three year old colt, beginning his ground driving training. I start them with one line and then we move to two lines when they are understanding voice commands and become consistent. He is very smart and will walk along, lower his head, step his foot over the line so it's between his...

    Driving Hours 2018

    I would love to join this challenge even if I'm a bit behind! I haven't been able to drive anyway because we are either skating around on ice or buried in snow drifts and enduring high winds and below zero weather. I will be driving my mare Sky and ground driving her 3 year old son, Zorro this...

    Post your Vehicles!

    This is a fun post! Maybe we can get it going again... I have a Kingston Saddlery Easy Entry cart with the curved shafts and the motorcycle wheels. It is a very heavy duty cart and I've liked it so far! I did upgrade the suspension with an axle suspension kit from Patty's Pony Place and that...

    My One Horse Open Sleigh!

    We have been using it to pull hay around. But either myself or one of my boys has been pulling it. I pulls really well over little to no snow and through deep snow! I'm very excited to get the chance to hitch it to my mini when she is ready. I tried to share this in the driving forum but it...

    My One Horse Open Sleigh!

    The dun mare in the photo was our main driving mare years ago. She had some health issues we worked through this summer and then I had to have surgery this fall. But I am doing well now and so is she so I will be putting her back in the cart soon! Our weather has made it difficult with all the...

    My One Horse Open Sleigh!

    I have been working on this set up for some time... in my mind! I've been trying to figure out how to make a game sled into something my minis could pull safely in the snow so we can have some fun this winter! Finally, with the help of friends, we came up with this! You can read all about it...

    Opinions on fencing

    Well it's been a problem! This will be the first winter with the minis. I had a couple of big horses that figured out they could just walk over the fence lines. Luckily they like me so they just stuck around the house, but they made a MESS! And we have a big ranch that borders us so the cows are...

    Opinions on fencing

    I have woven wire fences topped with smooth wire, some barbed, cattle panels and round pen panels. Of course, if I could afford it the barbed wire would be gone. But we rent and hubby doesn't want to put too much more money into things around here. I love the cattle panels as the minis like to...

    Easy Entry carts.. ?

    I too have a Kingston Saddlery cart. It fit my budget very well and is a nice heavy duty cart for driving on the rough mountain roads where I live. I upgraded to the motorcycle tires as well. It was very affordable and they offer free shipping! Someday I want to buy a cart from Patty's Pony...

    Euro Style Collar vs. Draft Style Collar?

    Thank you! I have to agree that the full neck collars do help them pull heavy loads and awkward loads more easily. Thanks for your input!
