    Clipping the "bridlepath"

    I've been to a few mini shows, and have seen a lot of pictures of minis in their show best. All the minis I've ever met have had long, thick, and beautiful manes. However, most of these show minis have half their manes clipped off! What are the reasons for this? Just to make the neck look...

    Cart question

    I have a draft horse, a regular sized horse, and a miniature horse. One is 16 hands, one is 15 hands, and the other is 31 inches. I might soon be buying another mini that is around 36 inches. All of them will or do drive. I really would like to have just one training cart, because it will...

    So excited!

    I just picked up my carriage today. It's about 50 years old, in fantastic condition(I could use it as is if I wanted to), and was very cheap :bgrin :bgrin :bgrin. It's not as big as it looks, it only weighs about 100-150 pounds. I'm going to keep it the original colors, and I'll post more...

    How old to drive?

    I have a fantastic 2 1/2 year old stallion. He is extremely bombproof(with no training). He has just a great personality. I am going to teach him to drive, just wondering how old is old enough to start pulling. I'm going to start working with him in the next month or so, and it would...

    Driving form

    I was just wondering what do judges look for in a mini that is pulling a cart. Should their head set be up and tucked in, or low and tucked in? Could anyone show me some pictures of a desirable look for a driving horse?

    How much weight can my mini pull?

    I have a two year old mini stallion. He's about 24 inches when he was last measured, and around 250 pounds, and a little tubby. When I bought him I had no intention of using him as a driving horse, but I think it would be fun. I know he is too young to pull weight now, but I just wanted to...
