I kept my 14 3 Arabian gelding with my two mini mares for years. Never any probems. It depends upon the horses. The neighbors have a small pony who is kept with a herd of 5 other large horses - both mares and geldings. She is doing fine, too.

thanks so much, Karen. I sent her an email. I am only 2 hours away!

Half Circle Ranch has been the best place for us to get rope halters that are custom tied to fit minis, and they have nice colors, and the service is incredible! Jes Radius does an outstanding job, is friendly, and helps us out with special requests. Great prices, too. I like that place.

http://www.monogrammedhorsehalters.com/m8_...=1100&qty=1 I just ordered two halters from this website. They are beautiful and exceptionally well made. On the website you can click on a hrse to change its color and then "try on" different color halters to see how they look. It helped us...

Thank you to everyone who replied to my post about driving and risk assessment! It was a great encouragement. I do want to learn to drive. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good teacher/trainer in the middle/north Tennessee area? I think this would be the best way for me to proceed...

I have been hoping to drive my two minis and have been in the process of training them and searching for the best cart for our purposes. The cart search has been frustrating. And the more I do this, the more I wonder if driving is such a great idea. I used to ride big horses and have had to...

I also live in TN! and have two miniature horses. I have them on one acre with a three sided run-in shed of about 15 feet wide and 10 feet deep. I hardly have to do any poop pickup since they don't produce that much for that size paddock and they also are very tidy about not messing up the...

I have used the rope halters and never had a problem. They have to be fitted correctly and that can sometimes be challenging with the minis. They also need to be used correctly. They are a tool, just like everything else. If you don't know how to use it, or are afraid to use it, don't fret...

Thanks for posting the question and for the answer! I was wondering the same thing and woud like to subscribe to something next year.

Jessica, Thanks so much for your post about your experience. Finding out how things work for people who own them is the best. I'm glad everthing turned out ok! Also, I love your avatar photo! Beautiful.

Yes, I'm looking at that. A few people seem to think it is unsafe, but others say it is quite stable and lots of fun. It does look like it would be hard to get out of it in an emergency. I wish I could find a way to try these out.

Ok, I obviously either said something wrong or I'm just missing out on inside information. Apologies if I inadvertantly mis-spoke. Otherwise, I still don't get the joke, but it's ok. I'm still new. And I appreciate the information and advice anyway! I'm trying to decide what kind of cart to...

Thanks for the feedback. I was wondering why he didn't have much info. on using them for horses, but most everything is on dogs. The horse connection came about from the harness for sale on the tack website. Can I ask a web type question: What does Flames for Joe mean??

I'm currently researching all the different kinds of carts available for driving. We are not interested in showing or competing so the primary focus is on stability on rough terrain, and safety. Does anyone know much about the dorsal hitch carts? I found this after going to the chimacum tack...

JJay, Thanks so muh for the info. on the breastcollars. And one more question: I currently have a Smartcart but not with the marathon shafts. We haven't used the cart yet. Can you also tell me more about the quick release traces and snaps that you mentioned in your posts? How do they work...

Does anyone here own a Saddlechariot or know someone who does or have any experience with them? I would like to know how they have worked for you.

JJay, What kind of breast collar is on Platinum? I like the V shape but havn't found anywhere to get one like this.

That seems so logical! Thanks! I knew there had to be a way to let them feel the sensation before hitching them up.

Sounds like you may be close to me, too! I'm looking forward to meeting all these mini people someday soon. Do you all go to the show in Shelbyville in April? I've never been but would like to go next year. Congratulations on selling your house in TX and finding a great place.

I'm new to driving and basically still reading alot and watching alot. One thing has me puzzled. I can imagine how you would help a horse to learn about the shafts and about the sensation of pulling something and about the bit, etc. For the life of me, I can't figure out a safe way to...
