I have a friend that has a cart with the pegs on the shafts. She is questioning where to put the tie down straps. Do they go in front or behind the pegs. I for some reason can not find the search area so can not find the answer there if this has been discussed Thanks Nancy

I have my Smart Cart and really love it. I have been trying to get it fit to Lance but have some questions. The Smart cart has the bent shafts. I see some pictures with the bend right at the tugs. I was taught that the shaft should come half way to the front of his shoulder. Which is...

I have changed Lance from the tie down straps at the girth to breeching. I want to drive him on hills and think this is the safer way to go. I can not post pictures right now as I am the only one at the barn that is driving and the people that are there when I drive are only the people who...

I know there has been many discussion on what type of carriage to buy. I have a carriage that the springs under the seat do not give much. I drive in an indoor ring that the horses use as a jumper ring. It is very rough and bouncy in there and I am getting a sore seat. I have about $2500 so...

I am finally going to bring Lance home this weekend. I am so excited it has been over a month since my family purchased him for me. I had to wait until Cathy Waxler got back from Worlds to go get him and last weekend I was tied up. I am boarding him in a large barn across the street from me...

I think awhile ago someone posted about a herbial supplement for a horse with lyme disease. I would like to know if this would be good for a dog. My daughter has a basset that has been on antibiotics for months and can not get off of them. Wondering if this would work for him Thanks Alpaca...

I need to share with people who understand driving. My family is a riding famoly and do not understand totally what I accomplished yesterday. I have only been driving for about 2 months and have not driven in 3 weeks. this was due to weather and some problems that I have had here on my farm...

I probably should not ask this question but I really want to know the answer. I have started taking driving lessons so I really do not know much at this point. I have been looking for a driving horse and can only find show horses or horses that I do not care for in looks. I would like to drive...
