Okay guys ....so, now how exactly do I get it right?? I thought I'd do it like Leia ....line up the tug straps and pre-drill. Cindy

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks ....I think I'm set now and will be sure to drill the small hole first! Have a great weekend! Cindy

Hi Marsha, Just a couple of thoughts on your question. The extended light period of spring is the lightbulb for the shedding process...about 7 weeks in many horses. But, a cold, wet spring can delay shedding, depending on what part of the country you all are in. Certainly her poor nutrition...

Hello everyone ....and Happy Memorial Day Weekend. A Special Thanks to all those serving in our Armed Forces now and in the past. I just got my new Camptown Harness for Tristan but I'd like to add a couple of tug stops to my Graber cart. Does anyone know where I can order these? I haven't...

Hi Marsha, It is your generous nature to consider this request; however, with 100 little kids milling all about your two minis, all it would take is one wrong move. Unfortunately, parents are not always so forgiving when their children are injured, even in minor ways. In my opinion, you are...

Hi Myrna, We did this at one of our novice driver clinics several years ago and what a hoot! Absolutely more fun watching the "pairs" learn about communicating and what a great "hands on" kind of experience. The rein board is wonderful in its own right BUT this is definitely more revealing...

Hi Myrna, Tristan was trained in a mullen but I just got finished with a driving clinic with Jeff Morse who suggested a Glory Butterfly. I've tried a french link snaffle but he really objected to the middle link and never seemed to settle his head and mouth with it. And since I'm tweaking...

Thanks, Peggy...that's exactly what I'm finding...the Glory Bit. I just finished a clinic with Jeff Morse and he had suggested a Glory Butterfly but when I went exploring, couldn't find them in a 3.5", only the big=horse sizes. But, thanks for replying ....yes, I have worked with Iowa Valley...

Hello, Just checking to see if anyone has located a miniature-sized Glory Butterfly bit. The smallest size I've located yet is 4.5" and I'm hoping for 3.5". Can anyone give me any suggestions for distributors?? Thanks, Cindy

I think I recall a previous discussion about audiotapes the drivers have used to de-sensitize horses to all sorts of different sights/sounds from the pleasure drive to the show ring. Does anyone have any preferences? What have you learned? Thanks, Cindy

That's an interesting idea about the interface around the turrets. Thanks for the suggestion. Also good to know about the minimal slippage underneath the saddle as well. Where did you purchase yours? Cindy

I was one of the 700 people who signed up and stayed up! We're on the east coast so not a big problem BUT I go to bed early as I rise around 4am. The webinar was very good and I think Jeff Morse did a super job in presenting....we'd like to keep his name around for a possible clinician to one...

There is a wonderful discussion of the driving horse and its relationship to the driver, written by Heike Bean....author of Logical Approach to Carriage Driving. Go to her website: www.heikebean.com and check out the driving article called "Driving from the ground up." It's about 30 pages of...

I will heartily second Lori's comments about finding a knowledgeable person to assist you as you learn ....it is absolutely the best money spent! And, in driving, safety is number one! Now, to find a trainer....here are some ways to search that person out: 1) You can post an inquiry on...

Leia, Very good idea about the tugs/hold-back slits ....The crupper straps is an interesting thought. On the rain sheet of yours that has the butt strap, I'm thinking that the butt strap is beneath his breeching? Any problems with that design at all? So, the other important issue is the...

I know that this was posted quite a while ago but I just found what appears to be an appropriately-sized Miniature liverpool bit .... check out the website and ask about the shipping rates, width of the bit piece. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/view?q=mini...805453521762242 Now, does anyone...

The gortex is certainly appealing due to the rain guard it would provide; however, it will be crinkly and with a green horse might be more unsettling. The wool will probably provide lots of good coverage, be quieter to your driving horse, fold up neatly, be washable and may be a more...

I was going to ask for advice about the most efficient material to use ....it would be nice to have something lightweight but also a bit water repellent for those days when you're showing (and the thunder clouds are rolling in as you are harnessing, getting closer, and your class is getting...

I've signed up too ....sounded like a great one! Good to have your feedback on previous learning experiences! Cindy
