I sent both Clementine and, years later, Perry to a trainer. There is a lot to be said for daily work with someone who has a lot of experience. The horses learn quickly and there is less chance of them forming bad habbits (at least my horses cause I'm not a trainer by any means). I had 90 days...

Yes ground driving counts for sure. I used to keep track of ground driving and driving separately but now we just count it all as hours with our critters. You guys must be tough stuff to be out in this January weather. Got your times down :)

All finished up for the year. We had less drivers participating so less total hours BUT I think our driving community has become really close this year. It's been so fun to follow everyone's experiences and growth this year. My goal in 2024 is to drive all of my horses at least 5 hours each. I...

Please post all about your drives here. And don't forget to add our favorite part...pictures!

I had a cart on order for 6 months and had to ask for a refund as it hadn't even been started yet. I can't speak to the value/workmanship as I never received my cart but the transaction and communication had much room for imporovement.

Here's the offical 2024 hours page. Just a few notes to make it a little easier for me to keep track of the hours. Please post the horse driven and the total time driven at the very beginning of your post. I'm also going to make a "2024 Driving Discussion" thread so we can put all the fun...

I'm here I swear! We just passed our final inspection and can finally move into the new house (in the dead of winter). I will update hours and have totals for everyone for the end of the year! You are all so inspiring and I've loved hearing about your adventures. Merry Christmas my driving family!

Finally all caught up. Sorry it took me so long. We're getting closer on the house (supposed to be done 8 weeks ago) and I'm getting nervous that we're going to run out of time to get the critters set up before winter. Can you guys do me a HUGE favor and list your driving time and which horse...

Wooden wheels need someone who knows what they are looking at. Then a wheelwright to repair them and that is expensive and hard to find. I would stick to a simple metal EE with motorcycle wheels for a first vehicle. You'll love the one you ordered. I have the same one and have had it for 10...

Not too mention that setup is on a two wheeler which has it's own set of problems. I'd love to talk to whoever built/drives this and hear about the setup. Maybe it's genius and we just can't see it?

Hello fellow drivers! It's been fun to read your adventures. Rest assured I haven't forgotten about you all and I will get hours caught up. We're running running trying to get the new house finished so we can get a barn up before winter (finally a barn!). Happy driving!

Woohoo!!! 30 min driving Wally! He's such a good boy. I haven't driven him in over a year I don't think. He was amazing. Such a willing and patient little guy who never gets upset even when I confuse the heck out of him.

I swear I'll get all caught up. Scrambling to finish the new house so we can get the animals situated before fall.

This is Blue. I can't find a pic of him hitched but I can get one if you want. This is Wally. In the second photo he has his face shaved so he looks kinda funny.

Hey I just saw your DM. Sorry we are super busy around here trying to build a new house and barn. I sent a message back. Let me know if you want more info. THanks!!
