Awww Paula, these pictures are adorable with your granddaughters!

Hi Paula, So sorry for your loss. Foaling time is such a stressful time of year. Did you find out your necropsy results?

I have a 10 month old colt that is doing the exact same thing. He thinks I am his playmate and thinks everything is a game. The nipping when he knows that he will get snapped or yelled at and loves to time it right to nip and run. Also, while being groomed, I have to watch him - he is quick...

I have very picky eaters that don't like just eating beet pulp (no molasses) with their vitamins. Does anyone have any experience with this feed?

Feel like I made some real progress with the one gelding today! I bought a little pair of Oster Minimax clippers and just sat on the step playing with him and holding clippers around his halter. He didn't pull back or move his feet. Eventually, i got some of his muzzle clipped and some of...

Yes, I can have the clippers running around them and next to them, but when I try to get any closer than a foot or so - that's when we have the problem.

What kind of plastic clip? Do you mean the plastic clamps like to hold two boards together?

I have a shetland and one welsh that I have tried everything to get them used to clipping and am really getting frustrated. I have tried the approach/retreat method without success (over several weeks). They are both well trained to drive and good ground manners, but every attempt at clipping...

Paula, Love the bathtub photo! You have some really good photos to document your training progress.

Hi Kelly, Here is a link to our driving club's pleasure show photos from this fall. Everyone's outfits were really nice. Some do wear the helmets for safety. http://www.hightimephotos.com/CarolinaCarriageClub/CCC-Pleasure-and-Dressage-Show

Thank you! Bonnie

Can anyone with a Minicrown tell me what the measurement is between the shafts at the singletree? Thanks! Bonnie

Thanks! The more information I have the better to make a decision! I have the Bellcrown Badger cart for my larger pony, but am now looking for the best one for my 41 inch shetland. I really love the torsion suspension on my Bellcrown.
