Looking at it again I don't think the whole thing is Weaver, I think I will pass on it. What about American Carts and Harness that advertises on this site? I know $250 isn't much to a lot of folks but right now it is to me! They have mini harnesses on there for $159.
I was thinking the same, that it would be well made but plain. I want to start driving our gelding again and would like to try to use it in some local shows to see if my daughter is interested in competing. She's almost 14 and has high functioning Autism. There are driving classes for special...
Do you all think that a young mare that is awful during her cycles will remain that way or do they sometimes improve as they get older? I have a 2 1/2 that is pretty feisty anyway but during her cycle can be a real little monster. She is so sweet the rest of the time. I have 3 other big horse...
Since I got back into horses about 10 years ago I have followed the Natural Horsemanship method-with clicker training added-and pretty much always used rope halters on my big horses. I did buy a Clinton Anderson one I've used on my minis too but not all the time since I have 3 minis and just the...
Thanks, in fact I sent my husband a link to your harness page too. You all are closer to me anyway.
Thank you for the info on the PA shop sounds good too!
I came across a website I think through here before and they looked like they had nice harnesses. A harness is top on my Christmas wish list and I need to send a link to my husband . I think it was "Star" something and I think they were amish made.
Thanks for any help!
Thanks for the tips. Mainly he races around when I let him out of the smaller stall into the pen. I don't see him doing much else so wasn't sure where to start. I didn't know if I should be hand walking him or what. Just making him move around the pen sounds good so I'll start with that. Yes...
One of my minis really got too fat this summer. I've had him put up for a week now in about a 80 x 40 cattle pen with a shed. He certainly feels good enough to get out and kick up his heels and race around the pen. I would like to start some type of exercise routine though. What would be a good...
Thanks very much for all the advice. This was my gut feeling but I was curious as to other's thoughts. No, I haven't bought this horse-just in the very initial communications and thinking about going to see him. I have already written and thanked her for her honesty but will pass on him.
Hi all,
I inquired about a gelding via email. It said in the ad that he is cart trained. He had been shown as a baby and did quite well. Never shown in driving but had 30 days professional training. The owner wrote me back and said he'd had a cart accident (didn't elaborate) and was now afraid...
I'd like to get my kids involved in showing our minis and I know they would have more fun if they could make some friends too. Is there an active club in NE OK or even NW AR we could join? They are 9, 11, 13.
thanks
Cara
I don't live in Tulsa anymore but I used to. Now we're about an hour to the east. I visited the Nationals twice this year and always really enjoy it. I'm sorry to hear about things getting stolen-that's crazy. Honestly, I didn't know there was even any security there! I always look through the...
