I live in NH and use Northeast Equine Veterinary Dental Services ..... www.nevds.com .... Leah Limone, DMV .... she is excellent, one of my minis has terrible teeth and she's done all the work on him and a lot of my friends horses, big and small. I'm not sure she'll travel that far but if...

If you have portable fence panels put up a small paddock just for her, even if it's on grass it'll be small so she can only eat so much grass.

I know you are asking how long it should take to train a mini to drive but I have a question, if you don't have any driving experience or know how to harness a horse or the parts of a harness and the purpose of each part, then I'd like to make the suggestion of working with a trainer to help you...

One thing I like on a mini harness is the space between the holes to be smaller, when adjusting the harness a lot of times you need it to be just a 1/2 hole cause 1 full hole is to much of an adjustment.

I use Webs ID for a few different websites that I manage, they are easy to work with. www.minicruppers.webs.com is one of them.

I know how you feel, I was driving with a friend and her mini ( her mini didn't even notice them) when we came across a field with cows......you would have thought my mini saw fire breathing dragons......let's just say I was VERY glad they didn't moo or start walking around otherwise it wouldn't...

I have a hyperbike and love it however.....I agree with Peggy P. a hyperbike is not a cart for a mini that is not well trained to drive, they are also hard to get in and out of. My suggestion would be to find a trainer who trains minis for driving, there is so much to learn about the different...

I have 2 minis that can go in and out of there stalls as they please but because I live where there is a lot of woods and wildlife roaming around I lock them in when it gets dark.

You should check with the CDE's your thinking of competing at, as far as I know they aren't allowed. I do LOVE my hyperbike

Have you tried any of the horse rescues in your area, they might have some available.

What kind of showing do you want to do using your hyperbike......the reason I ask is cause some won't allow them.

Some friends and I are going, it's a lot of fun. Star lake tack is there so I always make sure I visit there booth.

Cargo trailers only have plywood floors which won't hold up to urine and aren't really designed for livestock they do not have enough supports, also not enough ventilation / windows. Some only have a single axle which makes for an extremely bouncey ride for the mini.

Congratulations on your new mini!! She's cute, but it's hard to tell what her conformation is like with her still having her winter coat.

People do it because judges place them in classes if they stopped doing so, then maybe people would stop that practice.....
