What are you planning on using it for? I am wondering what the framing is like underneath.

I found it! It is a pony (or in this case goat) phaeton. http://www.ginacolliasuzuki.com/photos/arlington_court/arlington53-small.html Now to find one for miniatures...

I stumbled across an interesting little tidbit. In the 1800's in Central Park and other areas, goats were used to give carriage rides to children. What amazes me is how beautiful (and big) the carriages were. I am particularly interested in this one: Can anyone tell me what type of...

:SoHappy Whoot! Whoot! Am I allowed to give a shout out to Janie at Chimacum Tack? Super nice, very prompt, and fixed a problem that wasn't even hers! If I am breaking the rules, I apologize. Please remove my post. I just a very pleased with the interaction I had with her and want everyone...

I do. The AAEP has identified rabies as a core vaccination: http://www.aaep.org/rabies.htm I work in an equine veterinary office and we highly recommend it. The main reason is that rabies, besides being deadly, can be transferred to one of our vets through saliva. Often the symptoms of rabies...

I work for a equine vet in the Chicagoland area: Farm call: $54 Coggins: $32 (the ones with photos) Health Certificate: $19

Thanks Kendra. That does make sense. I am not sure how the belly band is set up for the Comfy Fit. I wonder if I could take the wrap straps on/off as needed. I will contact them. Smoochie and Valdez do look a lot alike. Your stallion looks great at 23! From the photos, I can tell my guy does...

Yes, he is Little Smoochie. I bought him from Wendy in October. How do you know my Smooch?

Perfect. Only doing pleasure/CDEs so this answered my question. I will most likely always have breeching. The wrap straps seemed a little redundant with the buckle in tug. Thanks!

I am getting ready to order a new Comfy Fit harness saddle. I am going to order the shaft tug loops that buckle onto the saddle then into the girth when harnessing. Do I still need a wrapstrap then? I have the option to order the belly band either way (with or without).

My draft cross was diagnosed in 2009 with equine ehrilichiosis (anaplasmosis). It started with stocking-up in his hind legs, then he got really stiff in his back end. Bute seemed to help, but a week later he had a bout of laminitis in the front feet. Finally, we did CBC/profile, and his...

Ditto! Maggie and I were BFF's in school. We were the two horse crazy girls. I moved to Chicago my junior year and we just reunited this summer at a AMHR show in Illinois. I've always wanted a mini (I've had several "big" horses) and after seeing her show, I was hooked. I bought my first mini a...

No probs! I enjoy reading the differing viewpoint on carts and the hyperbike. Carry on!

Well, now I am confused as ever. I think I am going to change directions and just buy a metal easy entry to tool around in and save up for a nicer cart when I know which direction I want to go. Wow, those Fox Lane carts are handsome! I am also interested in the weight of those. Anyone know the...

Thanks for your help Becky. I will certainly talk to Pam. I like the looks of the Mini Crowns too, but my I don't think I'll be able to afford one anytime soon. :-(

Thank you for your responses. Both answers have been extremely helpful. I thought I had read somewhere that the shafts running over the springs was less jarring for the horse, so that is why I was interested in that style. However, I am 5'8 so having enough leg room is very important to me plus...

Hello, I am purchasing my first cart and I have narrowed it down to two. Does anyone know which style of cart would be more comfortable for the horse? Shafts that run underneath the seat like this: Or shafts that are attached easy entry style like this: I will basically be driving for...

Hi Marsha! I haven't officially brought him home yet, but he is doing great. I'll PM you! Renee

Hey! I recognize that filly! My friend bred her. I am so glad you like her. I'm new to the miniature horse world, but I think my friend has an exceptional breeding program. Congratulations and good luck with her.

Hello All, I am in the process of purchasing my first (experienced) miniature driving horse. My question is which type of cart should I look for? I plan on driving him around the neighborhood streets and on limestone/grass trails. I would also like to participate in the local open shows...
