    Road driving

    I road drive all over the place. I train my horses the "steady" command. So when I see something coming, I tell them steady and they'll be ready for it. Also carry a WHIP! Its not for your horse. A dog comes after you and onto the road, smack that dog with it and yell no. I can bet you next time...

    If you had Minis first,

    I too started out in minis. Love the little guys, but being 5'11, I wanted something a bit taller to show (I just look funny showing the minis IMO). I have always loved the look of moderns, but started out with a classic first. Then basically jumped head first into moderns. Won't go back. I...

    Need bigger cart wheels

    You can also do a general search online for them. I would seach EE cart sites as your hubs are the EE style and not the show cart style. So just be sure to watch that.

    new to harness

    I ground drive mine a few times where I do most of my driving. I do a lot of road driving and want to be sure they are fine with cars, dogs, etc. So ground drive them everywhere. If they are safe for you, put them in the cart. Each horse is different as others pointed out. Good luck! Be sure...

    Quick AMHA Reg. question

    Thanks! I was hoping that wasn't the answer as now I have to go take pics and get them developed so that we can hit our local show May 1st.

    Quick AMHA Reg. question

    I don't deal with AMHA often and just noticed my guys papers need to go from temp to perm. Do I need to include pics with this or can it just be done without? Couldn't find an answer on their website. Thanks!

    Wow...I thought my horses were bomb proof. I found this post on Youtube and I have to say I am impr

    That's awesome!!! I'm a firm believer that if I can't safely drive my horse in the road with all those distractions, then they shouldn't be in the show ring.

    Learning to drive the hard way

    I think I'll let the picture explain itself! Hahaha! Boy, Braveheart was a saint! 60" pony cart and shetland harness somehow wrapped around him. I was an accident waiting to happen. Good thing nothing ever did. Once I got into the show ring, I got lessons on the proper cart and harnessing of...

    new Jerald Cart with a red seat?

    You'll have to post pics. Is it a bright red or burnt red? Older Jeralds were done in that red color. My road cart is red. I plan on repainting it this spring due to the red clashing with my road silks (I'm not a red person). But a black cart with red pinstripping and a red seat would look...

    protecting hooves on pavement/concrete

    If they wear fast, you can keep their hooves a little longer. My one mini will square off his back hoof sometimes. So we rasp his foot often to keep them shaped and leave them a bit longer so he can wear them down. But in meaning as a bit longer, they aren't really that long. Just a tad bit...

    Is it bad to drive them five days a week?

    My trainer has always told me, if they are WP or CP horses, they can be driven everyday and should to keep up their stamina. As long as they are physically fit, its just fine. He said your pleasure horses/ponies should go every other day more so they keep up their form and don't wear them out...

    I can use this cart in what kind of shows and or classes?

    Oh yes. Its such a shame we "need" so many carts for our ponies. I'm running along the lines now that I need a carriage house to put all mine in! And I'm still drooling over more carts that I just absolutely "need" to add to my collection.
