Try a Home Depot or something like that. They have big containers that might work.

Is the axle suspension kit easy to put on a cart? I think it would be a good addition to almost any cart.

Beautiful mare! I know you will be anxious to see the foal.

What a handsome horse! He looks great in harness. One thing I noticed is the blinder on the bridle. In the picture it looks a little low. Could he be seeing over it and that's what is making him afraid of the cart? I had this problem with a bridle that gapped and my horse would shy at times...

I mostly lurk here but this sounds so much like my experiences. I can ground drive a green horse but those first times in the cart I always have a trainer do it. I have found that most ponies will have a least one "blow up" in the cart and then they settle into it. I think you are doing the...

I really like your colt! I think when you get him clipped this Spring he will be stunning. Are you planning to show any of them?

I just now found this topic. I don't have anything to add about foaling but wanted to say that is a beautiful donkey and bless you for taking her in. Hope the little one makes an appearance soon. I once had two mini donkey jacks, they were a hoot!

I went to my first show of the year last weekend in Glen Rose, TX. I'm showing my 4 year old gelding in Country and he placed really well with some stiff competition. One judge gave him thirds in 2 of my classes so I considered that a big success! He is a high energy guy and this is his second...

Have you heard how many ponies are showing at Congress? Would love to be there!

I belong to a club ( not mini horse club) and we have mini/pony classes at our open fun shows. However, ponies can be as tall as 14.2 hds and still be considered a pony. Sometimes we have very interesting halter classes with a few true minis and then a 14 hd guy in the class! A good mini can...

If your mare is good sized, you might find a good small Arabian stallion to breed her to, then your foal can be registered as a half-Arabian. I know some people breeding ponies to Arabs to get small Sport Horses. The Sport Horse division is hot right now. I think people want horses they can use...

You have a good eye for a good horse. It's fun to find out things like that.

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing. My two favorite breeds are shetland/mini and arabian. I think they make a wonderful combination and both seem very people oriented at least that has been my experience.
