    Greetings from Utah

    If you can sew, yu can make your own long lines. I bought mine on etsy. You want lighter for the minis. Regular horse leads and long lines are too heavy, in my experience.

    Towing Capacity

    Both my boys are "A"s And they both drive. Just have to match the tow weight and terrain to their limits, but they do fantastic. We generally keep it to smaller rides, parades, "pony rides" one of my goals is to build up their tone and endurance this summer.

    2022 Clippings

    Clearly, I need to get over my fear of clipping my boys. Turk grows soo much winter coat that he looks like a Bison! Then sheds non-stop all the way until the next winter when it starts growing again. Pete sheds out very fast and clean. Seems that every year I fret over to-clip or not-to-clip...

    My process is very similar to @Edelweiss LOTS of hand work. Lots of start and stops!!! I also do a LOT of sacking in general, and always right before hitching. Gets the 'spook' out :cool: I walk behind the cart until they are doing very well with all commands, directions changes, circling...

    Farrier etiquette

    >> ...his prices just went up recently to $75.00. Guess i'm not going to complain any more. I pay $45 a horse. Like everyone else here, my Ferrier is super great with the mini's and keeps their hooves in fantastic shape. Even my vet has complimented their feet condition.
