    Adventures!

    Hi all! Long time no talk. We have been adventuring, but haven't been doing it as much due to our friend's mini nearly dying from a vaccine reaction so we haven't gone out. However, we have been experimenting with driving on the road, we went to the Driving Derby at the NJ Horse Park, we went...

    Adventures!

    Packed up Bee and the cart today to head to Crystal Lake Park in NJ. This was our first time there, but definitely not our last. It has designated horse trailer parking with nice hitching posts, a water spigot, and a mounting ramp for those who ride. There are also pavilions and, most...

    Yes I'm super impressed by her! She loves carriage driving and has me hooked as well. She ended up being the captain of the club and we are trying to get more people involved in my area. We have inspired someone to get their mini broke to drive too. 😊

    Adventures!

    I've only been driving for ten months now too! But Katie is at the reins in almost all the pictures you'll see of Bee hitched. She's been driving since 2012-ish when she was able to join the Carriage Club in college! She also groomed for a FEI driver after college before moving on to working in...

    Adventures!

    We packed Bee up like a sardine and made a 4 1/2 hour (thanks traffic) trek to the Annual DDC Pleasure Drive Show in MD. I was the chauffeur and groom for the weekend so Katie and Bee could show. It was Bee's second driving show and for only driving for about ten months, she was perfect! She...

    The lines are biothane which help keep them clean and I keep the harness/pads/lines in a tough 1 3 hook bridle bag to keep them out if the light and dirt. I think that helps keep everything nice and bright! Bee is also pretty clean mostly so she doesn't get them icky. We haven't worked hard...

    Adventures!

    We took our girls to our friend's farm to drive Bee. Thistle came along just to chill! Then we left the girls there and we all went shopping out in New Holland. We hit up Driving Essentials and Yonies to get some things that we need for the Delmarva show next month. It was so much fun! Bee had...

    Aha finally a toy that works

    🤣 That's too good! The only toy I can get my girls to use is this jolly ball you put hay/carrots inside of. I wish they were more playful!

    Anyone feed CA Trace?

    I use it and love it! One bag is going to last me a few years because of how little we have to feed. The girls can be picky and they don't even mind it. We have the powder. They seem very healthy and fulfill3d on the trace, far better than they ever were on the ration balancers. Of course I...

    Adventures!

    She's grade! I went with my friend's mom to pick up her and her dam from a dealer out near Lancaster, PA so the dam could be used for pony rides. The second I laid eyes on Bee, I knew she was meant to be mine and by the time we got home, I bought her! Her mom looked identical to her and she...

    Adventures!

    I'm glad you all like the photos! Being able to get out and do "horse stuff" has been a dream of mine. I can't be more thankful to my wonderful Honeybee for being the best mare ever. 🥰

    Adventures!

    We had a super fun day at the Horse Park of NJ @ Stone Tavern! They had an open cones/obstacles schooling going on along with a beginner driving clinic/private lessons. The clinician was our trainer so we didn't do that so that other people could have time with her since we only live 5 minutes...
