Love seeing these posts. I would like to know if anyone has used minis to drag their arena. We have a harrow that is much too heavy for my mini and requires the tractor. I have made a single tree but need ideas for the harrow. Footing is not deep and doesn't require big teeth.

Loveit, she's a star!

My whole property is 2.3 acres, my 3 minis whole turnout, barn, and 60x100 arena only occupy 1/4 of that, so a little over 1/2 acre. Even with 24 hour turnout there is a very low grass cover on most of the turnout and is mud free in the rainy pacific northwest. BUT my land drains like a...

I would never accuse any individual of abuse without proof. On the other hand, I see first hand so many over fed and barely worked or unworked horses here.

I'm watching a show called Long Way Down with Ewan MacGregor. They are in Sudan at the moment and they showed footage of cart donkeys, no bits, only a makeshift halter with "reins". They also showed young boys riding donkeys with no bridle or reins what so ever. I have no idea how they were...

Paintpnylvr, I can't seem to post pics. Not sure why.

Paintponylvr, love the pics! My hubby has made me a container that can be drug around to pick up rocks, or other small things. It's a plastic cement mixing tub set in a wood frame. It has skids (not sure if that's the right word for these) on the bottom with beveled edges. Havent used it for...

I remember reading that in a TTouch book, but I swear I also saw Elizabeth Taylor do that in National Velvet or some other really old black and white movie. Old wisdom revived?

Ooh, fancy! I do love wood!

Just in looking at the pics, for $45 more you get the wood floor plus a different spring under the seat. That might make a big comfort difference. The $495 model also appears to have a higher back. I like to feel secure so I like that feature. The $450 model looks like it might have those...

Thanks sporthorsemom, I just added tape to the shafts yesterday! Please do post if you can find any seat modifications. If I can feel more secure and my husband makes a riser for the floor the cart may stay.

I did also notice those Silver Penny easy entry carts. A fair price and nice options to really look fancy if you want. Shipping is also cheaper than the minicrown. I have never ridden in a cart with a leaf spring, but it has to be more comfy than those little springs under the seat on some easy...

Nice! I have a desire to have my mini earn her keep (okay, be somewhat useful) and have her drag branches, small logs, whatever. I love to see the horses at work. Here in Washington State there will be a draft horse event at the Monroe fairground during the Evergreen State Fair. I can't wait to...

Hmmm, having trouble trying to post a pic of my cart. Not sure if it's because I'm using an iPad. I did just drive in my cart this morning and the lower leg room is actually a little short for me. Puts my knees a little in the air if I don't stretch out to the slanty foot rest area. Still makes...

Oh, I wanted to add that the aerocrown looks much more secure (seat wise) than my minicrown.

I think I'm must be the one single person that regrets buying a minicrown. Cons - I find it heavy - The shafts a pain to adjust - The seat too high (or my lower legs too short!) - The back rest so low I think I could fly of the back if my horse lurched forward - The ride stiff and hard...
