Had it... didn't like it... sent it back second day. It heats up quickly ( HOT) and is hard to hold...with a chain saw blade a good grip is important. Found it unsafe for the horse and the person.... for that out lay of cash, it should be better thought out and the heat problem fixed. This was...

I want that horse!!! ........LOL Looks great!!!!

@ Grace67... I do feel your struggle in this search, you do need to hang on and keep searching. At least I have other driving options here at home. I have a couple little ones, that I drive on the flat/track ( we live in steep up and down terrain) and the grandkids love them, well I do too! I'm...

Thank you Leia and Nancy... I'm relaxing.. feeling better! The encouragement is very much appreciated and was needed!

Thank you Lori! I really appreciate the encouragement... It's good to know someone feels I have a right to look for what I want... Thank you!!! It sure knocked the wind out of my sails.. I'm one that can take critism. It might sting a bit, but I can take, then, improve my outlook and learn from...

I am also( well was!) looking for the larger B size mini ( even slighyly over and doesn't need registration) that has a quiet disposition, doesn't need to be finished just most of the ground work behind, hitched and going nicely, can be green and needing miles, preferably mare. I'm looking( was)...

Let's face it if you don't need another appliances all the better and I have every reason to believe, with your consistancy she can learn different cues from different locations of contact. She will quickly learn and trust your signals and she will want to, it's all about consistancy. You know...

Hi! First let me say... Good for you for your willingness to give this special girl the time and effort to be your driving friend. She will repay you, over and over again. She will make you a better horse owner/trainer/driver with what she will teach you! I do not have a deaf horse but I do...

Myrna; Thank you for the reply. I feel good about my decision. Thank you!!!

HI! Life has been busy this summer... I'm just catching up on the forum along with life and chores in general. I'm still cart shopping. I did purchase a beautiful wood cart, and I'm very pleased! Oh My! It's beautiful!!!! I just don't want to do my training with the cart and I didn't take into...

I know, I need someone closer than Bill too. If I find anyone I'll let you know...and you the same, ok? Christie

If ONLY I could find a local driving club... Everything seems to be 4 hours away. I have used a large horse trainer, it's the cost issue. She charges the same to board and train my little one. I thought I would see if I had any other options but I may not. I'll check out the turnout thread...

I'm looking for a driving mentor or instructor close enough to get some hands on assistance. AND I also have more training than my health or time would allow. I'd also love to find some reasonable priced training assistance. I can probably manage one on my own but I have two other minis I would...

<P> The question is no longer needed... The cart sold. I do like the c-spring on my jog cart. </P>

Thank you Shari! Those pictures are great!!!! It looks like maybe they have improved the bitting rig.... that's a good thing! One reason I was considering this one is they offer it in a size big enough for my oversize B mini. I may be leaning toward SS too.. really the local level and...

Yikes! Thank you for the heads up! and recommendation... I know training can be done without a bitting rig but I like one. I miss you guys being in Pa! Thanks again! Christie quote name='Field-of-Dreams' timestamp='1300152346' post='1355136'] I bought a bitting rig from them a few years...

Thank you everyone that replied! Such a wealth of info and freely given... Thank you, thank you!!! I'm probably going to go with brass but I'm still not sure. Thanks again! Christie

Are there any tips or rules or customs/traditions as to whether you decide on Stainless Steel or Brass. Does the color of horse play in the decision? I know the metal hardware/accent on the harness and cart should match. I like the look of brass, but I know SS is less maintance. Any other...
