    Shaft length and wheel height

    Thank you so much for your responses. What size wheel for an average "pipe" EE cart would you recommend for a 11H pony? I'm looking at a Frontier equestrian EE cart with brakes and heavy duty wheels. So if I'm hearing correctly I need to not measure wheel diameter so much as the height of the...

    Shaft length and wheel height

    Is it very accurate? I read it but it stated that my 11H pony would need 55" shafts. I can't find a 55" shaft cart. So I wasn't sure I trusted how accurate those numbers were. After reading that I wrote down all those measurements and then My daughter and I went to the Carolina Carriage Super...

    Shaft length and wheel height

    I'm looking at buying a cart for a 44 in or 11H foundation shetland. How long should the shafts be and what size wheel? She is 43 inches long. How do you measure the horse for the width of the shafts?

    Accidents you lived to tell about...

    Thanks so much for taking the time to post these stories. It just might save one of us newbies. I read them with the mindset of oh, that's why you don't do that. Or, oh that's why we do that. In other words I try to learn some safety tips from them.

    Need Ideas (Very Long and sad)

    Not sure what happened for you - but just two weeks ago a standard sized horse at the barn I board at that was 25 yo had these almost exact symptoms and the outcome was that he had had a stroke. They didn't know it until after he had been put down. I'm so sorry. He would cock his head to the...

    Also - SMHN have strings that can be dangerous for a horse left alone for a couple of days. If you are going to use SMHN you really need someone there that can check on them a couple of times thru the day. Please google paradise paddock small mesh hay net comparison chart. It will bring most of...

    Hay-Feeding Solutions

    First I agree with the other posters - horses, especially mini- really need to be taken care of and checked over for cuts bumps, scrapes and wounds daily. Having said that - if you are still determined to leave them in that situation - 1. Get 2 black rubbermaid tubs (one slightly bigger than...

    How much hay & stabling overnight

    If I leave mine out on pasture during the day and feed hay at night they get very obese pretty quick. If I keep them on a dry lot and feed hay free choice they get over weight. If I put them on a dry lot and only feed them hay that maintains their weight at a good level - they get very difficult...

    How much hay & stabling overnight

    Do you worry about them getting ulcers from an empty stomach? I do.

    Got my new cart, harness.. and no success....

    Don't know exactly how big your mini, how flat the terrain, how long the drive, or how fit she is, but two adults and a very small child might have been too much weight - could she have been objecting from being overly tired or too much weight?

    Games Day

    Sorry Jetiki - I didn't see your post until this morning. This is an event listed on the Whips and Wheels Central North Carolina Club website. I don't know if we are allowed to mention specific names of farms on here. I can send you a pm and will.

    How tall is he? Looks like the wheels could be a little taller and it would line the shafts up better. The shafts should go across the point of the shoulder and these do but at an upward angle which makes me think the wheels might be just a hair too short. Also, you can lenghten the traces just...
