Wish you were still close enough I could say " put on the coffee pot, I'll come watch with you!

My "first" cart, and the one I still go to most often because it's lightweight, I have next to nothing invested in it, and it's just a well-balanced easy on the horse vehicle, was an old Sears pipe pony cart. I'm sure you can't shorten the shafts if yours is for a full-sized horse, but my...

Amy, you have mirrored my thoughts almost word for word. Love-love-love the blue cart on the Rhinestone website. I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with horse-drawn vehicles, seems like the fewer horses I have the more vehicles I want!!!! Go figure. I can answer the 2nd part of...

Have been a "Farm Wife" for 40+ years, so guess farm-related issues. Gardening. Cooking and canning. Oh yeah, and thanks to an untimely bad back of hubbys I can change the diesel injectors in both tractors and combines. I doubt that would be anything that would come up on "Who Wants"...

Hi - - thought maybe you all were snowed in and bored enough to check my "last Winter" project. I made presentation halters and a Native Arab costume for Century Farm. It was featured in the October/November issue of Miniature Horse World on pages 11, 12 and 13; and in the December issue on page...

I'll post photos of the brass breastcollar "attachment" one of these days. I had to get a new computer and it won't accept my old photo program. I'm pretty much electronically challanged, and my 'puter guy has been busy and hasn't been able to get out here. How many of you have changed over...

You've started the subject of "carriage house" now for all those toys listed in the "how many" thread, so I'm going to put in print the promise hubby has made for next Spring (and I KNOW it's just because he wants to be able to get his work truck in the garage during the winter so it will be...

Thanks Rhinestone, W-d 40 and Murphys Oil soap are on the list now for the next trip to town. I didn't realize how much that roadcart squeaked until Whitney and her fiancee came to visit last fall. My hubby videotaped our drives out in the field, and you couldn't hear much of anything else...

I'm willing to play, since I now know others out there are "into excess" also - Metal Easy Entry cut down from pony size but well-balanced and with one or two more "tweeks" fairly comfortable - Wood Road Cart (local Amish made) comfortable, well balanced but "squeaks a lot" (any...

I've been to the farm in question, we live about 50 miles from there. I agree, it's a shame when that "TYPE" mini or farm gets the publicity. There are so many folks out there viewing it that have no idea of correct conformation, balance, breed standard, etc., and sooooooo many dewy-eyed...

Talk to Sandee at Iowa Valley Kim - brass reinrailfor sure, and if she doesn't have the dash she may know where to get it.

I got a sport harness from Chimicum last Spring (actually 2 sets, ordered Pairs harness with parts to make 2 singles. I really like them, and Janie is great to work with. When it came a few parts didn't fit right, and she was very accomodating about getting me what I needed (and told me to...

Wow, it looks like we can start a new off-shoot for Lil Beginnings called "Society of Mayflower Descendants that have small horses

I'm not real sure of the number of generations removed, but my Great (11 greats back I think) Grandfather was Peregrene White, son of Susanna and William White, and was the first white child born after the landing of the Mayflower. Have thought of looking into membership in the Society of...

Man Kay, she is nice and straight and correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Star definitely "cooked" that little one till she was completely done, unfolded and ready to WOW the world. I like her!
