Are there training procedures one can do to produce a driving team when one mini is already trained to drive? Prior to purchasing a 4-wheel buggy, of course . I have a stud and a mare that are together constantly and when I lead them out to graze, I hold both leads in one hand and they look...

Okay, I got caught in my skanky work clothes, but it's dirty working with horses, right? I promise I do clean up purdy and don't always look like a bag lady. Anyway, I am finally at a point where I can work with Kasspur after a brutally hot summer. We went from 99* to 60* with plenty of...

I've been renting training videos from GiddyupFlix pertaining to mules, donkeys, and driving. The majority of the videos are packed with information and very helpful IMO. Recently I received Jack Strode's Mule Training School. HOLY COW! I had always heard of a method of training involving...

I always have my driving horses haltered and tied during hitching. Since I am a "one woman operation" with no header available, this has proven to be the safest option for me. I'd like to know your methods for attaching the driving reins. I know some folks like to bridle first and hold the...

Today I had my 5 yr old mini stud tethered for grazing. He likes to roll a lot and was in the process of taking a dust bath. Neighbor's dog (pita blue heeler cross) gets overly excited whenever my horses roll...most of them just ignore him. Lil Black hates this dog, however, so when he...

I can find 1001 uses for twine, but what can you do with the wire from square bales? Also...how do you store it? Lori

These mini's are so much fun and my herd is growing. I now have two and might pick up another this weekend!!! I'm interested in having pony parties as a business and would like to know the pros/cons involved. Liability insurance, etc. Any tips, advice, suggestions would be greatly...

I've seen a couple pics within the forum of the plume or feather that attaches to the driving bridle. Does anyone have a website of where to order these from? Thanks a Million!!!! Lori
