Hi, Anyone out there in the South GA area? Looking for a driving buddy. I know there is a group in the Macon area, but that is really too far. I am just outside of Albany. Kathy

Happy to say I just received my new cart from Silver Penney. Can anyone tell me how much space should be between the horse and the single tree? How much is too much? This is this horse's first cart and I think I may have messed up when I measured him. If I use this cart I will have to get...

I have been looking around for a moderately priced, new cart for my driving mini. I am not looking for a show cart, just a cart for back roads and trails. I really like the wooden carts at A Silver Penney Farm. I would love to hear from someone who has one. Thanks, Kathy

I am fairly new to driving. Today we took my mini out for a drive. When he would trot, the shafts would bounce (alot). It could very well be due to that fact that we were on a dirt road and it had been raining recently. I just wanted to make sure that it has nothing to do with how he is...

Can anyone recommend a good cart for "just for fun" driving? Some trails mostly dirt road driving. Thanks

I purchased a used EZ entry cart. I think I am missing the pieces/ties that keeps the traces attached to the singletree. Can someone explain how the traces stay attached to the cart and what it should look like. Thanks

I am located in south ga. I am looking for driving lessons for myself and possibly one of my mini's. Does anyone know of a trainer/mentor nearby? Thanks

Anyone have experience with Southern Diamond Trailers/ I am looking for a mini sized trailer. This will be my first trailer. Any "must have" options? Thanks, Kathy

Last week my 2 yr old gelding was bit by a rattle snake on the nose. After a week at Auburn University he is home. They sent him home with some heavy duty antibiotics, in pill form. I am suppose to give him 5 pills 4x a day. I have tried mixing them with everthing I can think of, he won't...

I posted recently with a question about fat mini's and founder. My mini's are now eating the bark off the trees. I have whole trees that are stripped as far as they can reach. This is new. They are all doing it. Is this going to hurt them? Are they doing it because something is missing in...

Help! First of all, can someone please explain founder to me. It seems like I get a different answer everytime I ask the question. What makes sense to me is that a horse founders when they become to heavy for their hoofs to support them and the extra weight changes the structure of their...

I plan to ask the vet these questions too, but I am interested in hearing what others have done. Next week I am having my two colts gelded. They are both two yrs old. They have been pastured together since they were weanlings. They get along great, never fight, and play is not really...

I need to purchase a trailer to haul my mini's in. I have never owned a trailer or even pulled anything before. I am looking at the Ponderosa Mini Express. Anyone own one? Opinions? I only want to haul one or two mini's at a time, so I want the smallest/safest trailer I can get. Any...

Hi, I am still fairly new to mini's. One of my mares has allergies. Her eyes swell and weep. I have started putting a fly mask on her during the day as suggested by my vet. It is a Kensington and I really like the way it fits her. I do wonder if I should be worrying about leaving her out...

I have a mare that has been bitten on the nose by a poisonous snake. Her nose/face is very swollen. She is having trouble breathing. I had the vet come out. She gave her an anti inflammatory and something for pain. She thought cortisone might induce labor (mare is about a week overdue)...

We have our first foal. He is 2 months old. I have been putting a handful of grain in a seperate pan for him when I feed, because his mother will not let him near her's. He has started really eating it, so now his mom is chasing him away from his, eating it, then eating hers (miss piggy...

I would like to have my county extension office come out and test my pasture for fescue grass. Is it a specific type of fescue that I need to be concerned about, or is it all fescue grass? Thanks

I am looking for references (good or bad, post or PM) from anyone who has experience with 4 Star Horse Transport . Thanks, KathyB
